When you dont speak good, some language, normally you use the hands, and the movement. And this is normal, Amor said after the game.Perth coach Kenny Lowe empathised with his counterpart, saying hed be screaming blue murder if it happened to his side, but were victors off the back of Keoghs brace.In the third game of the round, ladder leaders Sydney FCs perfect start to the season ended after wasting a glut of opportunities against Brisbane on Saturday.Josh Brillantes first-half rocket was cancelled by Thomas Kristensen, however the Sky Blues failed to take advantage of a dominant second half, ending their six-game winning run.But that too didnt finish without controversity, with Sydney FC defender Rhyan Grant staying on the pitch after picking up what some believed was his second yellow of the match.In the final match of the weekend, ten-man Central Coast held off a fast-finishing Newcastle team to share the spoils 1-1 in an entertaining local derby at McDonald Jones Stadium.Saturdays fixture between Wellington and Melbourne Victory was postponed to an undetermined date due to earthquake damage at Westpac Stadium.
