ALW Match Report: Sydney FC 3-0 Western United (Western United FC)

Western United fell to its fourth defeat of the Liberty A-League Women season on Sunday afternoon, going down 3-0 to Sydney FC.

But the visitors’ defence was resolute as Alana Cerne, Sydney Cummings and co. That goal all but sealed the result as United fell to its fourth defeat of the campaign, but the Green and Black remains on top of the table with three matches left in the regular season. It was a game very much played in transition in the opening 20 minutes with both sides looking to catch the opposition on the break, and Sydney very nearly did so when Mackenzie Hawkesby was played through but Hillary Beall was able to push the ball onto the crossbar.

Fiery Sydney FC ALW win could be costly (PerthNow)

Sydney FC have thumped ladder-leading Western United, but a flurry of yellow cards and injuries could cost them.

Only 10 minutes later the pair were on show again as Vine accelerated to the corner of the box and cut back to the goal line to find Lowe, who sneaked the ball past United goalkeeper Hillary Beall. They quickly atoned in the second half, however, as Lowe scored within five minutes of the break thanks to a well-weighted through-ball from Vine on the right wing. The Sydney side put on a classy performance on Sunday, coming out firing in the first half and finding the net three times in the second.
