Sydney FC gets a great achievement beating Premier League West Ham United in pre-season

Time of pre-season, European football teams and Australian Socceroos are meeting in really interesting dates to know the level of both before the tough and almost never-ending season in the old continent and the huge improvement and big achievements that aussies are reaching in this sport.

One of those important hits has been made by Socceroos Sydney FC this weekend with the great victory over British Premier League club West Ham United, winning the aussies 3-1 at Westpac Stadium of Wellington, New Zealand, last Saturday.

The tour around Pacific was a considered a terrible display for the Londoners as they also lost their match against Wellington Phoenix in Auckland during the week. The Hammers fell below about the expected for the English Premier League.

Sydney Socceroos had crashed a few days earlier, in another friendly match against Premier League Newcastle United, being defeated 4-0 by the British as part of the Football United tour, in a match held last Tuesday in Dunedin, NZ.

“It’s not every day you get to play against good quality Premier League opposition so for us to do that and gain experience and a good result against them is fantastic. That shows we are going in the right direction and the boys can take a lot of confidence from that”, said the Sydney's striker Alex Brosque, who scored one of the goals of the match to Sydney FC..

The Sky Blues will now prepare for their inaugural match in the FFA Cup against Melbourne City in a fortnight.
