A Derby draw has ensured Sydney FC did not complete a clean sweep of this season’s Sydney Derbies.
The Wanderers opened the scoring through a bullet Dario Vidosic header, but were pegged back by a deflected Alex Brosque strike.
Players came to blows midway through the first half as Liam Reddy tossed the ball into Matt Jurman’s face ahead of a corner – a typical derby moment.

Matt Simon scoring from 50 yards would’ve been the worst blow to Australian soccer yet. #SydneyDerby
