While I enjoy bad things happening to the Smurfs, this is embarrassing for the whole A-League as the Smurfs have run rings around everyone this season (except us, lol)

Yes Ange Pot's Yokohama Marinos. He must still be the best coach to ever grace the A League.

But yes an embarrassing result, esp given Yokohama are still effectively in pre season (J League starts this weekend), Sydney were pretty much at full strength, and would have been well rested - having not played since 19th Feb. No excuses.

Makes you wonder how WSW ever won the AFC Champions League.

The last A-League game they played was the 31st January. The Sydney Derby postponement caused them to have almost 3 weeks without a game in the lead up.

Arnieball has never worked in the ACL, the only way to get results for A-League teams is to defend and counter (Popaball). Glory were very unlucky, they lost to a late deflection. They will be the only team with a chance to progress out of their group.
