Sydney FC has secured its A-League finals berth, but the Wanderers’ hold on a top-six spot remains vulnerable after a gut-wrenching 2-1 loss to the Sky Blues in Saturday night’s derby.
Having scored an equaliser in the fifth minute of stoppage-time through substitute Zac Sapsford , the Wanderers were left shattered when Sky Blues replacement Jaiden Kucharski found the back of the net less than three minutes later to secure his side a memorable win at Allianz Stadium.
Should seventh-placed Melbourne City beat Perth Glory on Sunday, they will reduce the margin between them and the Wanderers to just one point ahead of next Saturday’s meeting between Western Sydney and City at CommBank Stadium.“That’s just how the cookie crumbles sometimes.”Both teams had first half-chances, with Gomes failing to hit the target when he seemed certain to score in the 16th minute.
Antonsson had another opportunity soon after, but he blazed his shot over the crossbar after creating space for himself in the Sky Blues’ penalty area.
