Sydney FC are one win away from securing a historic first Liberty A-League Premiership threepeat following a 4-2 win over Perth Glory at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium. Indiana Dos Santos became the club’s youngest ever goal scorer with a first half opener before Perth equalised twice either side of a stunning Cortnee Vine strike. Despite some Perth pressure, the Sky Blues kept their nerve as Haley and Ibini scored in the last quarter to put the result beyond doubt and Sydney FC one point clear at the top. Sydney FC 4 (Dos Santos 24’, Vine 45’+2’, Haley 75’, Ibini 88’) def. Perth Glory 2 (Jancevski 45’, Coleman 58’)
