Xbox: Samer ‘Samer96_’ Elbadar 3-2 Justin ‘justmanutd12’ Josevski
Samer Elbadar wrapped up Sydney FC’s aggregate success by seeing off Justin Josevski 3-2 on Xbox.
Nathan Burns tucked away Phoenix’s first in the ninth minute, though the lead was erased by the Sky Blues moments later.
Elbadar then completed the quickfire turnaround by punishing an error and rammed home the advantage with a third after the restart.
That gave Josevski a mountain to climb and, although he pulled one back, it was little more than a consolation as Phoenix were left still searching for a maiden point.
