A-League 2007-08: Round 6 Results

Monday, October 1, 2007

Round 6 of the Hyundai A-League produced an interesting first for the competition in its short existence, and something which has been totally against the grain so far this season. In the 20 games so far this season, only three home wins had been recorded, but for the first time ever in the league, all four home teams won their respective matches in a single round.

The Mariners stay four points clear at the top despite losing its first game of the season against Adelaide, while Wellington had their first taste of victory at home, with the Phoenix smashing Perth 4-1. Melbourne and Sydney are set for a blockbuster in Sydney next week, after both had hard fought wins.

Attendance/Average: 60,523 / 15,131
Goal of the Week: Alex Brosque - Sydney FC
Player of the Week: Bruce Djite - Adelaide United
