Sydney United vs Macarthur Preview

Sydney United have taken this year’s competition by storm following their fairytale campaign. They became the first National Premier League club to reach the Australia Cup final after edging Brisbane Roar 3-2 in the semi-finals. They were not even the winners of the second-tier league, only finishing in seventh place.

United owe their success thus far to good organization, mostly in the defense. They also boast an excellent and confident goalkeeper who has contributed immensely to their progress in the competition. Macarthur will be the third A-League (top tier) side Sydney United will be facing as they hope to clinch the ultimate prize.

Macarthur are a relatively new club, having been founded five years ago and are yet to win any major titles. However, they finished seventh in the A-League last term, just before the arrival of new coach Dwight Yorke. The former Manchester United forward has adapted quickly to the environment where he spent the 2005-2006 season.

His outfit have been flying high in the Australia Cup. They launched their campaign with a 6-0 win over Newcastle Olympic before crushing Modbury Jets 4-0 to reach the quarterfinals. Wellington Phoenix and Oakleigh Cannons were thrashed 2-0 and 5-2 as the Bulls advanced to the final to face a team widely seen as the underdogs.
