SYDNEY FC coach Frank Farina admitted his side had secured an ugly victory, but insisted that the lottery of finals football meant he was unconcerned by his team's display.
Finishing only fifth means Farina must probably win the championship to activate the final year of his contract, but he took comfort from winning a game in spite of the performance, rather than because of it.
"It wasn't pretty - maybe in patches it was decent but it was particularly disappointing to concede a soft goal right on halftime. But in the end, we'll take it," he said.
"We were playing a team with nothing to lose, and we had everything to lose. At least we have some consistency in results, and if we can get those results without playing at our best, that's a bonus.

"The finals are a whole new ball game - it's all about who turns up on Friday night [against Melbourne Victory], who's better prepared and who plays the best. All the previous form for every side counts for nothing, now we're into sudden death.
"Whoever you play will be tough, especially away. We have a short turnaround, only five days, but then Victory have to play on Tuesday night in the Asian Champions League so we can't complain. We're ready."

Perth coach Kenny Lowe was less optimistic about Sydney's chances in the finals, despite conceding a late winner to the home side.
"I think probably it'll be tough [for Sydney], you have to be realistic at this point of the season," he said. "Really they're not one of the top sides at the moment.
"They do have some quality players, it's a question of whether they're able to show that quality. We didn't see much of [Alessandro] Del Piero tonight, but then he popped up at the crucial moment.
"Terry Antonis has done that to us before, it was a world class goal - I think he wants to play us every week."
