Daniel McBreen scored the only goal of the game on 27 minutes, finishing well from close range with an assist from Joshua Rose.

At the other end, the Mariners threatened to double their lead, as McBreen and Michael McGlinchey forced good stops out of Vedran Janjetovic.
The Mariners climb to fourth in the table, while Sydney remain third.
