Western Sydney Wanderers v Central Coast Mariners: key stats and facts

A thoroughly entertaining clash saw Daniel De Silva run the show as Mariners visited the Wanderers. But who bossed the stats in Saturday’s 2-2 draw?

 

 

FIVE MATCH FACTS

  •  The Mariners took competition points in consecutive games against the Wanderers for the first time since April 2015, when they did so in three straight (W1, D2).

  • The result sees the Wanderers go undefeated in their opening two games of an A-League season for just the second time, after drawing their first two games in 2013/14.

  •  Central Coast picked up their fourth draw in their last six away games within New South Wales (W1, L1).

  • The Mariners finished with a shooting accuracy of 58%, the last time they were more accurate in an away game (min. 10 total shots) was in November 2014 against Sydney FC (60% accuracy).

  • Chris Herd (51 passes, 91.2% accuracy tonight) has now made 50+ passes with an accuracy above 90% in consecutive games, becoming just the fourth Wanderers’ player (Andreu, Dimas, Spiranovic) to do so.
