            AUSTRALIA’S SYDNEY UNITED MADE HISTORY AS THE ROAR WERE STUNNED

National Premier League New South Wales side Sydney United 58 made Australian football history on Sunday as they became the first non-top-flight team to qualify for the Australia Cup final, after they had beaten A-League Men side Brisbane Roar 3-2 in the semifinal.

On-loan Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo attacking midfielder Riku Danzaki had given the Roar the lead in the 13th minute at a packed Sydney United Sports Center, before the hosts equalized in the 24th minute through Matthew Billic’s effort. Brisbane was then given a chance to regain the lead before half-time in the second minute of stoppage time, however captain Jay O’Shea saw his penalty being saved by Danijel Nizic.
