LEUMEAH, Australia (Jan. 10, 2026) (Interstat) — Sydney opened its A-League season with a commanding 3-0 away victory over Macarthur on Saturday at Campbelltown Sports Stadium. All three goals came from substitutes, defying pre-match projections that favored the hosts.

Piero Quispe opened the scoring in the 31st minute. Campuzano doubled the lead just before halftime in the 48th, and Patrick Wood sealed the result in the 62nd. Paul Okon-Engstler and Rhys Youlley each provided assists. Both assist-makers also received yellow cards during the match.

The result improved Sydney’s record to 1-0-0 in league play, while Macarthur fell to 0-1-0. The win surpassed statistical expectations, as Macarthur had entered the match with a slight probability to win according to one forecast system.
