Alex Brosque continued his impressive form, bagging two goals after setting up many of Sydney's chances this season. Aloisi marked his return with a goal and Steve Corica put the finishing touches on a stellar Sky Blue performance.

With Mark Bridge sidelined due to an ankle injury, Aloisi made the most of the opportunity in the starting side.

In the 14th minute a corner was successfully defended by the visitors, but Karol Kisel put the ball back into the box to keep the pressure on. Stephan Keller managed to rise above everyone to head the ball down to Corica who spread it across the face of Fury's goal towards Aloisi.

Sydney's marquee man showed great anticipation to get to the ball before it went out to slam it home for his fifth goal of the season.

"It was good to get on the scoresheet but the most important thing was to win and win well," said Aloisi. "The boys stuck together this week because we could've easily gone downhill and start slipping."

"Last game [against Newcastle] we got beaten well and it wasn't easy coming back here and playing in front of supporters we let down last week but we showed from the very beginning we're up for it," said Aloisi. "People say that we haven't got leaders, I think we've got a lot of leaders and we showed tonight what character we have."

Sydney FC remain in second place on the ladder closing the gap to Melbourne Victory to three points.

"We're looking forward to pushing them [Melbourne] all the way and getting away from the rest of the pack," said Aloisi.

Sydney coach Vitezslav Lavicka added: "It was a tough week for us. We wanted to play a different style from the last game [against Newcastle]... it was a big improvement."
