Sydney beats Western United to snap winless run
Sydney FC won for the first time in five A-League attempts as it recorded a 2-0 home victory over Western United.
The defending champion had collected two points from its previous four matches and came into the Wednesday's contest sitting eighth in the standings.
But a penalty from Bobo and a close-range strike courtesy of Rhyan Grant had Sydney two goals up after 47 minutes, with Western falling to a second straight defeat.
Bobo opened the scoring after 18 minutes when he scored from 12 yards, Kosta Barbarouses having drawn a foul from Aaron Calver.
On his 200th A-League appearance, Grant found the bottom corner just 113 seconds after half-time, with an assist from the impressive Barbarouses.
A bad day for the visitors got worse when Andrew Durante received a red card in stoppage time for a slap on Jordan Swibel.
Sydney were worthy winners, racking up 19 shots with six on target compared to figures of seven and two from Western.
Australia international Grant created a game-high three chances and completed 56 of his 59 passes in a fine outing on his milestone appearance.
