Western United clinched a vital 2-1 victory against Sydney FC in the A-League Women competition on February 9, 2025, at Leichhardt Oval. This win propelled Western United into the top four of the league standings, showcasing their determination and skill.

The match kicked off with an impressive start from Western United, as captain Chloe Logarzo found the net in the sixth minute with a precise low strike that slipped past debutant goalkeeper Bethany Mason-Jones. However, Sydney FC quickly responded, with midfielder Mackenzie Hawkesby equalizing in the 14th minute from inside the box.

Western United regained the lead shortly after, with Kahli Johnson scoring her eighth goal of the season. Johnson`s left-footed effort from outside the box, following a clever combination with Logarzo, put Western United ahead 2-1.
