And there’s the final whistle
Holy shit snacks, I don’t think I’ve yelled that loud at a footy match in a few years.

A well deserved 1-nil pipping by The Nix over Sydney FC.
Their first win over Sydney at Sydney in 7 years, and what a fucking tale to go with it.

Stoked to see Oli Sail pick up a clean sheet as well, that’s a great bonus that is hopefully a sign of things to come.

Fuck me
Fuuuuuuuuck me

A handball has been given in the 18 yard, which is a penalty.
From all angles it looks like the Sydney attacker headed it into the back of the Nix player.

But. The penalty has been upheld.

Sail playing out of his fucking skin with a couple of swift saves, before taking a gentle lob and hiffing it down field.

Sydney currently playing 9 up front, with a sweeper holding high on the half, and the keeper holding his 18 yard box.

I haven’t seen an A-League game like this that I can remember, if ever

Watching the Nix pick up their second red card in a little over 15 minutes, taking them down to 9 players against Sydney’s 11.

Watch as the Nix play a 9 man defensive play to hold onto their 1-nil lead as we rumble into overtime.

8 minutes of overtime.
Fuuuuuucking hell
