Three A-League clubs rounded out their pre-season fixtures on Thursday, with Sydney FC and Central Coast drawing 0-0 while Western Sydney defeated APIA Leichhardt 3-0.
Wanderers were too good for the NPL NSW club at Marconi Stadium, with second half goals to Mark Bridge, Alvaro Cejudo and Steven Lustica sealing a comfortable win.
Bridge opened the scoring, racing onto a delightful flick from Brendon Santalab before slipping the ball past Ivan Necevski.
It marked the beginning of the end for APIA, as Cejudo doubled the advantage seconds later, tucking home a loose ball in the box.
The Wanderers would add a third and final goal when Lustica finished from an acute angle after being put through by Jaushua Sotirio.

Elsewhere, the Sky Blues and Mariners played out a goalless draw behind closed doors at Allianz Stadium.
The result marked the Mariners' fourth consecutive clean sheet of the pre-season.
Central Coast boss Paul Okon said: “We end pre-season on a positive note with another clean sheet and we know that’s an area from last season we needed to improve on. No injuries, minutes into the legs and now we move onto Round One."
Sydney coach Graham Arnold said: "We probably should have had three or four goals with the amount of chances we created and on another night we would have but it wasn't about that this evening, it was about ensuring we are right to go next week and we are."
