  • Sydney FC 3 Melbourne Victory 0

    1st Big Blue of Year

    Sydney FC 3 Melbourne Victory 0 in the first big blue of the year at Sydney’s Leichhardt Oval in front of 10,900 passionate fans.

    With the rain steaming down at Leichhardt Sydney FC took the initiative mid-way through the 2nd half with a 58th minute goal by Joe Lolley after a great Sydney passing move at the edge of the Victory box. Lolley added a 2nd in the 70th minute after a brilliant piece of individual brilliance. Taking the ball from inside the Sydney half, Lolley went on a weaving run through the Victory defense and slotted home a brilliant 2nd goal from outside the box. The Sky-Blue crowd was left in total disbelief at the great run! Grant added a 3rd goal in the 76 minutes with a header from a corner to finish off a great night for Sydney FC!

    Great win from Sydney FC which sends them top of the table with Auckland to play latter today.
