After a goalless first half, Sydney skipper Alex Brosque broke the deadlock (57') with his 10th goal of the campaign. Bobo then piled on two more (64', 90+1') to seal all three points. 

It was Sydney's first home game since winning the Premiers Plate and lifts them to 62 points - a win away from equalling the League's all time highest points tally set by Brisbane Roar.

City did well to restrict Sydney's chances in the opening 45' and came close to grabbing the opener when a curling free kick from Bruno Fornaroli shaved the outside of the far post.

Rhyan Grant almost gifted the visitors the opener with a misdirected touch sending the ball into the path of Tim Cahill but Aaron Calver - in for injured Jordy Buijs - diffused the danger and the Sky Blues survived and found their best as the half wore on.

As have done so many times before, the Sky Blues ran over the top of their opponents after break.

Ivan Franjic cleared a Grant chance off the line shortly after the restart before Brosque and Bobo broke the game open with two goals in seven minutes.

City rarely threatened and conceded a third in stoppage time as Bobo bagged his brace, sealing the hosts’ 19th win of the season and 13th clean sheet.
