Western Sydney Wanderers vs Sydney FC 29/11/2014 7:30PM

That's sorta been the story of their season apart from the first few matches. More (as) often than not they looked likely to lose but have won "convincingly" instead.  Phoenix, in their own way, have done the same. The most extreme example is winning 1-0 without a shot on target.  So, rather than getting away with it, their tactics/strategy has worked.  You know as well as I do, Football has many facets including creating chances, taking chances or alternatively nullifying chances or saving them. Which team wins is not just which team looked most likely but which team made the most (or worst) of the chances or denying them. Surviving is not just luck. A goalkeeper saving numerous times is not luck it's the keeper being better than his opponents efforts. As they say,  it's a team game.

They were clearly second best in both games but Abdysh couldn't do enough, then ran out of gas in the 2nd leg and made serious mistakes to give up the game. Mariners got away with it for sure.
