The elephant in the room has finally left. Having done their best to ignore their form rut over the past month, Sydney FC snapped their winless streak when it mattered most, beating Perth Glory 2-0 in the semi-final to set-up a Sky Blue showdown against Melbourne City in Sunday's decider.
Sliding doors: Sydney FC striker Adam Le Fondre slides in on Perth goalkeeper Liam Reddy to score last night.Sydney entered the match stuck in a rut worse than any of the six finalists, winless in their past five but were a stark contrast to whatever the form guide may have predicted. Instead, the Sky Blues seemed to have arrived at Bankwest in a Delorean from February 2020, playing their best football since the A-League resumption.
Instead, the Sky Blues had to wait until midway through the half to open their account. Ninkovic was named the best on ground when he last faced Perth in the finals and haunted the Glory again here. Receiving a fortuitous deflection from a Perth defender, Ninkovic calmly slotted past the reach of Reddy to put Sydney into the lead in the 23rd minute.Four minutes later, their lead was doubled.
