Sydney FC thrash Adelaide 3-0

Sydney FC continued their undefeated start to the A-League season with a confident
3-0 win over an understrength Adelaide United at the Sydney Football Stadium.
The win has continued Sydney's best ever start to an A-League season, now standing
at three wins and two draws from the opening five rounds.
The result was all-but secured after a strike from Terry McFlynn in just the second
minute and another goal 35 minutes in from Alex Brosque.
But the highlight of a fairly lopsided contest was a 35-metre second-half
wonderstrike from substitute Brendon Santalab.
Santalab's long-range bomb in the 79th minute replicated the A-League goal of the
season also scored by the 26-year-old against United at Adelaide Oval in January.
Adelaide returned from Japan just 36 hours prior to the game after playing in the
Asian Champions League.
And their sluggish start proved costly as Sydney FC raced to a two goal advantage
before United threatened Sydney FC goalkeeper Clint Bolton.
Adelaide United coach Aurelio Vidmar fielded just three players from his starting
line-up from Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Kashima Antlers.
In contrast Sydney FC coach John Kosmina selected an unchanged line-up from that
which battled to a scoreless draw last weekend in Newcastle.
