Brosque had a chance to equalise in the dying stages of the game when he had a tussle with Osama Malik on the edge of the box en route to goal.

The pair went tumbling to the ground on the edge of the box, provoking shouts for a free-kick or red card from the Sydney players and officials.

The Sky Blues skipper said he would need to see the incident again after feeling he was fouled originally, however believes there was little benefit in analysing the situation.

“I’d like to see a replay to see how it went down exactly," Brosque said. 

"It felt like I was being held, the ref said we were both holding each other, which I thought initially was fair.

“I used my arms to get into that front position, but once I did, I felt I was through on goal and that’s where he grabbed me or lent into me and that’s why I went down… I’d have to see it again.

“We’ve had a few half chances, they had half chances, it wasn’t a game where there were any clear cut chances and we say we should’ve won the game.

“The good thing is it’s not the Grand Final of the A-League, there’s still plenty of games to go, a lot of silverware to play for, so we’ll pick up and keep going.”

Sydney coach Graham Arnold refused to give his personal thoughts, but conceded Brosque was unhappy with referee Peter Green’s non-decision.

“I’ll let you guys answer that, you guys saw it as well as I did," Arnold said.

"I know Alex is quite upset about it, but you guys have your opinion, you tell me."

Socceroo and City star Tim Cahill scored the only goal of the game at the 53rd minute which saw the club claim its first trophy in history.

Sydney FC currently still remain undefeated in the A-League as Arnold wanted to move on quickly to Saturday’s clash against Newcastle Jets.

“I don’t think there was any difference between the two teams, we conceded a sloppy goal, off the second phase of a set piece, so in general play it was an even contest,” he said.

“You’ve got to congratulate Melbourne city for winning their first trophy, only a short time you can see by the crowd tonight and the number of people around the place, Melbourne City they’ll be a big club and they’ll get better and better.

“The two Melbourne teams are strong, the two Sydney teams are strong, they’ve come a long way from their Melbourne Heart days.

“It shows the backing they’ve got that spending the money they spend they’re moving forward in leaps and bounds."
