Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic FC gets defeated by Sydney FC

·

Sydney FC came to win last night, and that they did against Scottish super team Celtic FC led by former Socceroo’s manager, Ange Postecoglou.

The teams went head-to-head in a match played at Allianz Stadium in Sydney’s east last night with Sydney FC dominating the field and ultimately won with a 2-1 score.

When Liel Abada’s shot deflected off Kyogo Furuhashi and into the nett in the 23rd minute, the host team may feel unfortunate to have given up the opening goal.

Robert Mak had Sydney FC back on level terms less than three minutes later though, winning a footrace against Celtic’s Stephen Welsh and earning himself a one-on-one with goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist at point-blank range.

In the 60th minute, Max Burgess’ left-footed goal from the edge of the box gave Sydney FC a 2-1 advantage against the odds and the chance to pull off an unexpected victory.

Postecoglou is back in his native Australia on tour with the Scottish team who is set to play English Premier league team, Everton FC at Accor Stadium on Sunday 20th November.
