New Sydney FC coach Steve Corica says he's delighted to get a first-up win which he felt his side deserved and was thrilled for Daniel De Silva to score on debut.
The Sky Blues progressed to the FFA Cup last 16 after a 4-2 win away to Rockdale City Suns on Wednesday night, with De Silva equalising in the 30th minute after Rockdale took an early lead.
Further goals from Ben Warland and an Alex Brosque double sealed the victory.

“It was a fantastic performance and good to get the first win," said Corica, who stepped up from assistant coach to replace Graham Arnold in the off-season.
“In the first half I thought we played really well except for the early goal we conceded.
“We were able to control the rest of the game, but got a bit sloppy towards the end of that second half as the game went on.
“I was pleased for Danny De Silva to score a great goal, Brosquey led from the front and Wilko from the back.
“I was very pleased with everyone’s performance. We’ll learn from tonight and we’ll get better.
“Brosque’s just so experienced – he’s looked good all pre-season, he’s come back fit and he came up with some great goals for us tonight when we really needed it.”
