Gives me hope that if you're second on the ladder, you can still beat 1st in the final.  Sydney like us also finished two points behind the Minor Premiership winners.

Lets go Uffie FC
04 May 09:49
Could be quite a high scoring game.
04 May 09:55
Too easy for Mak, 1-0 
04 May 09:56
Ooh Tommy, that was awful.
04 May 09:58
"turned like milk" said the commentator. A red card in his last game and then conceding a goal like that in this one. Some end to his Bulls career if Macarthur can't turn this around

Offside flag spares Kurto's blushes. 1-0 
04 May 10:04
That's a disappointing looking crowd. Obviously the rain hasn't helped but even so.
04 May 10:06
How did Caceres not even get a shot off there? It was almost a tap in. 1-0 
04 May 10:12
Penalty Sydney, VAR checking. 1-0 
04 May 10:14
Wow, a red card for a DOGSO. No penalty. 1-0 
04 May 10:15
That decision is terrible

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

04 May 10:18
Not even nine-man specialists Macarthur are going to get out of this one. It seems a harsh reading of the foul to me.
04 May 10:22
Just seen maks goal. Dufaq was smith doing!?! He trips himself up in the process of losing Mak.

Another step and it's a penalty. I don't think Macarthur could come back from 2-0 down, so in a way maybe the Red Card was the better result in a strange way?

1-0

Our boy Tommy Smith turned like an ocean liner there. I don't think i've ever seen someone less nimble lol. You've gotta laugh.

Also I assume we want Macarthur to win given whenever we play them we usually hump them?

Smith's not be up to A-League standard and is definitely not worth the import slot. Compare him to Wooton who came to us from a higher level and is younger.

What a chance for Macarthur. 1-0

What a chance for Macarthur. 1-0 
Took a man coming off for them to come to life unfortunately.

Ideal situation: they equalise, it goes to extra time, they win on pens but are exhausted having played all of that with only 10 men.

Only way to get Macarthur, is for City to beat the Victory. Sydney winning is a safer option. 

1-0

"An excellent half of football". Between the small crowd, the appalling state of the pitch, a really poor performance by Macarthur and yet another controversial VAR intervention I'd definitely argue the opposite.

Not watching the game, but having seen that Adamson red card back on social media - Honestly, what the hell is happening to our game?

And if City doesn't win, CCM get an easy match after flying back from Oman.

Even more amazing that it was Faghani that gave it, he let's those go for the first 70 mins normally.

Yea don’t understand that red. A pen absolutely but why the red? I thought the league got rid of that double jeopardy thing.

It was outside the box. So no penalty. If it was inside, it wouldn't have been a red.

Well obviously in the ideal scenario City coast to a dominant victory and are absolutely fresh and full of confidence :)

Wow!

So, we want City to beat Victory and this Sydney team to play CCM.
04 May 11:01
Even a sarcastic dive from Kurto would've been better than nothing.
04 May 11:01
Woof. Lolley makes it 2-0 
04 May 11:03
Excellent goal by Lolley. Injures himself in the process.  Kucharski on for Lolley. 2:0 at 50 min.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Double substitution for Macarthur.

Watching second half only, seems like a mediocre quality game of sorts.

I thought number one team plays the lowest ranked team from the elimination finals and the number two team plays the highest ranked?

Victory (3) v City (6)

So if Sydney & City wins, it's 1st vs 6th and 2nd vs 4th

Yep, by my own logic you're right... I blame the hour and the beers consumed.
04 May 11:15
3-0.

C'mon the Victory tomorrow.

Kucharsk  for Sydney, 3:0.  He's been busy since coming on.  Sydney lifting the intensity now and have been parked in the Bulls most of the time.

You'd think Macarthur's defenders would've learned from the first two goals that if the attacker starts to cut inside onto his left foot look out.
