Sydney FC Triumphs in Thrilling Derby with a 4-2 Victory
What an unforgettable night for Sydney FC fans! In a spectacular showdown during the Unite Round at Allianz Stadium, the Sky Blues delivered a commanding 4-2 victory over their fierce crosstown rivals, the Western Sydney Wanderers. The match had everything—a packed stadium, intense drama, and a remarkable performance by Anas Ouahim, whose second-half heroics sealed the game.
The first half set the tone with Sydney’s Joe Lolley making his presence known. Returning from injury, Lolley capitalized on a blocked shot by Patryk Klimala to smash the ball into the net in the 33rd minute. His cheeky golf swing celebration alluded to pre-match criticism of players’ golf outings, sending the fans into a frenzy. However, the Wanderers struck back just before halftime. Zac Sapsford, a former Sydney player, slotted home a blistering counter-attack goal to level the score, silencing the Sky Blues faithful—momentarily.

The second half belonged to Sydney FC, thanks to substitute Anas Ouahim. Within three minutes of entering the field, Ouahim’s pinpoint free kick found Jordan Courtney-Perkins, who restored the Sky Blues’ lead with a towering header. Moments later, a foul on Sydney captain Rhyan Grant set up a penalty, which Ouahim confidently converted to make it 3-1.
The Wanderers weren’t finished, as Spanish star Juan Mata's corner connected with Marcus Antonsson’s header to close the gap to 3-2. Yet, Sydney FC responded swiftly. Ouahim showcased his brilliance once again, assisting Klimala for his third goal of the season, securing the final 4-2 scoreline.
The victory pushed Sydney FC to fifth on the A-League Men ladder, while the Wanderers, now in 10th, continue searching for consistency. With 30,777 fans in attendance, this was a derby to remember—a night where Sydney FC’s skill, determination, and flair shone brightly under the Allianz lights.
