Amazingly WSW won from one good cross and a sweet finish, despite being under the pump for most of the game.
To be fair, I kept tuning in periodically, alternating between this and the Melbourne derby, so I may have missed anything exceptional on their part. I was more interested in seeing David Vila since he has now cut his stay short, than WSW. Shame, he is leaving, it would have been great to see him walk out onto the Westpac Stadium pitch to the tune of "who are ya?", followed by thunderous applause.
The best side was Al-Hilal but that is the way games can go. I will be very surprised if WSW can hang onto this 1-0 in the return leg.
Their sponsorship is worth 23 million dollars a year so these guys are not bunnies. They can afford to get top players from all over the world.
Pretty hard for any A league team to compete with those sort of resources.
