HAL 2009-10 :: Major Semi Final - Match D: Sydney FC 2 Melbourne 2 @ SFS

[Jobdog]

For all discussion on the second leg of Sydney and the Victory. The winner to host the Grand Final, the loser to play the winner of the Phoenix and Jets.

This one to be a pretty fast flowing 3-1 win to Sydney. Hernandez to give Melbourne an early lead before Sydney run away with it.

 

[DragonPunk]

Sydney 2-1 with Brosque to score a brace.

 

[skeepe]

What a goal by Kruse.

Looks like it'll be cancelled out by a ridiculous penalty given away by Leijer.

 

[Ridders]

Yeah great goal by Kruse.

 

[Ridders]

Damn, good chance for Melbourne there.

 

[skeepe]

I realise it's the done thing to wear the away kit at every away game, but surely some common sense... white and sky blue clash far more than dark blue and sky blue.

 

[Ridders]

Looks a good crowd. Wonder what the attendance will be.

Well there we go. 23 818

 

[Ridders]

Bridge!!!

 

[skeepe]

Gee the A-League has come a long way in the last few years.

 

[DragonPunk]

Come on Sydney!!

 

[skeepe]

While the standard of play has improved, the officiating clearly hasn't. These assistants wouldn't know an offside if it bit them in the arse.

 

[Ridders]

Kruse off for Archie.

 

[Ridders]

Lol Archie CLEARLY on-side.

Refs are a joke.

 

[Ridders]

Lovely move by Melbourne.

Brebner should have done better.

 

[Ridders]

Extra-time here we come.

 

[Ridders]

Bolton is god.

Saved Sydney's bacon sooooooo many times.

 

[Ridders]

Archie Thompson scores off the quick free-kick!!!

Game over.

 

[DragonPunk]

f**king archie thompson

 

[Misanthrope]

Bwahahaha.

Most hilarious way to lose a grand final qualifier ever.
