Sydney FC held their nerve in a penalty shootout to beat Perth Glory in the A-League Grand Final.

Sydney FC are headed to the A-League final in Perth after beating Melbourne Victory 6-1.

Outgoing Bayern Munch winger Franck Ribery leaves the door open to joining former Bayern Munich star Markus Babbel at the Wanderers.
Departing legend Alex Brosque has suggested scrapping the A-League playoffs and Grand Final after Sydney FC’s win on penalties over Perth Glory in this year’s showpiece event.
Last year’s championship failure didn’t sit comfortably with Brosque and neither did this year’s win, even though his team took the title over the regular season’s top performers.
And Brosque has suggested doing away with the A-League finals series — and with it the premiership — while awarding the title of champions to…

A late goal proved enough for Melbourne as they were forced to work hard against Central Coast Mariners.

Perth Glory faced a challenge in the form of Roy O’Donovan early on but hit back in the second half to claim a 1-0 victory and take home the silverware.

Alexander Baumjohann’s second half equaliser was enough to rescue a point for Western Sydney in an enthralling 1-1 draw at the ANZ stadium.

Melbourne City and Adelaide United each missed plenty of chances to finish goalless at AAMI Park.
Retiring Sydney FC captain Alex Brosque has labelled the Sky Blues’ last two A-League regular season games as “must-win” matches, as they try to earn a precious rest in a hectic month.
Second-placed Sydney, who host Premiers Plate winners Perth on Thursday, hold a two-point advantage over Melbourne Victory.
Both Sydney and the Victory have to play three AFC Champions League games through May, when the A-League finals series is held, with Steve Corica’s team facing two overseas trips.

Siem de Jong says he will make a decision on his future towards the end of his loan spell with Sydney.
Sydney FC captain Alex Brosque wants his side to strike a psychological blow on FFA Cup Final adversary Adelaide United by inflicting a home loss on the Reds in Friday’s A-League season opener.
The two clubs will meet at the same Coopers Stadium venue on Oct. 30, when Sydney will endeavour to become the first club to go back-to-back in the FFA Cup.
“Definitely this is is a big game on many fronts,” Brosque said.
“This is round one, you want to start the season off well, you want to get the three…

Steve Corica will take the reigns from Graham Arnold in season 2018/19.

Roy O’Donovan has been handed a 10 match suspension for his foul on Lawrence Thomas in the A-League Grand Final.
Sydney FC captain Alex Brosque has confirmed that he will play on for one more A-League season.
Brosque was set to draw the curtain on his 17-year career to further underline a changing of the Sky Blues guard, led by coach Graham Arnold’s exit and Steve Corica’s promotion in his place.
Yet, as it turns out, the club will still have its skipper — even if he does start on the bench a little more than previous years.
“I’m Sydney FC through and through,” Brosque said at Sydney’s end-of-season awards…

Brisbane withstood a late barrage from Sydney to hold on for the win, but it was David Carney leaving after half-time and Alex Brosque spitting towards the referee that caused some controversy.

Australia’s new manager Graham Arnold discusses how proud is he to take over the coaching reigns after the World Cup.

Newly appointed Socceroos manager Graham Arnold wants to continue Ange Postecoglou’s proud culture. Alex Brosque will not be cited for spitting during Sydney FC’s A-League loss to Brisbane Roar.
The well-respected Sky Blues skipper was booked for dissent during Saturday night’s 2-1 upset and then appeared to spit in the direction of referee Kurt Ams.
But a review of the incident has provided insufficient evidence to justify a referral to the full A-League match review panel.
That lack of evidence is likely to centre around an inability to prove Brosque’s intent, especially given the 34-year-old…

Sydney’s coach Graham Arnold insists they are looking to sign a number of players to ensure they are successful next season. Sydney FC crave back-to-back A-League championships and for skipper Alex Brosque, the title defence starts now.
It begins on Thursday night when Sydney FC line up for their first preseason friendly against Arsenal.
The record-breaking Sky Blues have a paltry 10 days of training behind them since returning from holidays to embark on a gruelling three months before the new season begins in October.
And while their bodies might be peak condition, their minds are already focused on the next set of silverware…

A first-half goal to Brendon Santalab proved to be enough for the Western Sydney Wanderers to finally crack Sydney FC. Sydney Derby referee Chris Beath has ostensibly admitted he was wrong to deny Sydney FC a late penalty that could have kept the A-League leaders’ Invincibles run going.
Beath waved away three Sky Blues penalty shouts in Western Sydney’s controversial 1-0 win at ANZ Stadium, the last of which was clear-cut.
In the 92nd minute, Wanderers defender Robert Cornthwaite stuck out a leg that caught Sydney captain Alex Brosque and sent him down in the box.
Despite angry protests from Brosque and his camp,…
