SYDNEY (AP) " Brazilian striker Bobo's 11th goal of the season in the 50th minute gave Sydney FC a 1-0 win over Melbourne Victory, all but clinching first place in the A-League. Sydney, 11 points clear of second-placed Victory, needs only four points from its remaining five regular-season matches to win the team's first Premiers' Plate ahead of the playoffs. "There's still 15 points to go, we're in a great position, our destiny is in our own hands," said Sydney coach Graham Arnold. And the Western Sydney Wanderers played to a scoreless draw with Adelaide United. On Sunday, Central Coast hosts Melbourne City and the Jets take on the Brisbane Roar at Newcastle to conclude the 22nd round.
