Sydney FC signed off from pre-season with a 1-0 win against the Wellington Phoenix thanks to a first half strike from Adam Le Fondre.
Sydney controlled possession early on and took the lead after Harry Van Der Saag found space in the box to cut back for Adam Le Fondre to tuck it past Wellington goalkeeper Oli Sail.
The Sky Blues almost doubled their lead on the stroke of half time when Milos Ninkovic danced past the Phoenix defence to slide in Kosta Barbarouses who had his shot saved by Sail.
Sydney started the second half with intent. Elvis Kamsoba found himself in space on the right wing who whipped in a cross for Le Fondre who was unlucky to not put the ball in the back of the net.
Max Burgess was the next to go close when he saw his curled effort narrowly miss the goal which had Sail beaten.
