Sydney FC players have good physique, fitness and expertise. HAGL aims to win points in this match. But after Van Thanh scored the opening goal, we wanted to keep all 3 points, but unfortunately HAGL dropped the victory.”

We had a harder time this match than the first, we tried our best. I think we played well today. Sydney FC only got 2 points, we should have had 6 points, but this result is too disappointing.

Anyway this is normal in Soccer, we have 4 games left, we have to do something different to win the upcoming matches. Before this match, we analyzed HAGL, they have a variety of play styles and have cross coordination. But the situation when the ball hit the player from long distance, we changed direction and the goalkeeper was unable to, I think we did well today, “said the head coach of Sydney FC.
