Sydney FC 6-0 Western Sydney Wanderers

Sydney FC romped to the top of Conference B in the Y-League Sydney Derby, putting six of the best past their crosstown Red and Black foes in a curtain-raiser to the Harboursiders A-League side who then put five past Brisbane Roar on Saturday evening at Jubilee Stadium.

Australian U17 representative Jaiden Kucharski got things going in just the third minute of play when he latched onto a pass from Marco Tilio and laced an effort past Jack Greenwood in the Wanderers’ goal.

Nine minutes later it was two when Tilio went from provider to scorer as he curled an effort from the top of the box in the 11th minute.

Kucharski capitalised on Wanderers failing to clear their lines in the 33rd minute to make it 3-0 before Jordi Swibel turned in a Cameron Peupion to further pile on the pain in the 33rd minute.

Swibel then made it 5-0 in the 68th minute before Kucharski put the cherry on the sundae with his hattrick in the 70th minute to begin a memorable day for the Harboursiders.

Conference B’s representatives in the Grand Final for two-straight seasons, the loss leaves the Wanderers four points adrift of both Sydney and Central Coast Mariners nearing the season’s halfway point.

Perth Glory 0-4 Brisbane Roar

Roar’s undefeated start to their title-defence rolled onward on Sunday as Head Coach Chris Grossman’s side made the trip west and recorded a comprehensive win over Perth Glory.

The side in orange took the lead in the 39th minute when senior-listed player George Mells found the net on a fast break before Dauntae Mariner sent his side into halftime with a 2-0 lead when he fired home in the first minute of injury time.  

Keegan Jelacic then made it three for the visitors when he struck in the 49th minute and then grabbed his brace in the 81st minute to seal the win.

The three points earned at Dorrien Gardens see Roar leap to the top spot in Conference A heading towards the season’s halfway point – a point clear of second-placed Adelaide United.

Glory, meanwhile, remain rooted to the bottom of the conference.

The only side thus far to have played four games so far in Conference A, they have just a single point – earned in a madcap 6-6 draw with Melbourne City – to their name.
