Match edit

The match was attended by approximately 4,000 spectators.[1]

First half edit

Sydney FC started the stronger side, and went ahead within 20 minutes, when Matthew Bingley eventually shot home after a throw-in by Andrew Packer. Sasho Petrovski was dangerous for Sydney, as was Pierre Wajoka for AS Magenta. With 30 minutes gone, a chance fell for Petrovski, only to see his shot comfortably saved by Michel Hne.

Second half edit

Despite some dangerous attacking moves from AS Magenta early in the half, Sydney doubled their lead with an hour played when David Zdrilic headed home off a David Carney cross. The goal was enough to see Sydney hold out to win the Championship.
