In the early game at Sports Road, Wanderers started well against Corinthians and created several chances before taking the lead in the 12th minute when a Corinthians defender near the right-hand corner hooked a clearance to the edge of their penalty box, and the ball was fed to Rory Hussey who drove the ball past the advancing goalkeeper into the back of the net. After further pressure, and wasted chances, Wanderers extended their lead after 29 minutes when a shot from the right was wide of the left hand post, and was rescued and squared back into the 6-yard box where Anthony Sassi hooked the ball into the right-hand corner of the net and a 2-nil half-time lead.
Corinthians came out in the second half with a more determined demeanour and made more of a contest which had been one sided for most of the first half. Corinthians pulled a goal back in the 57th minute when, after working the ball down the left-hand side, the ball was curled into the net past James Seddon by David Jordan.
