A blatant refereeing blunder helped the reigning A-League football champions Sydney FC finally climb off the bottom of the ladder in a controversial 1-nil win over Newcastle at the Sydney Football Stadium.
The match appeared doomed for a scoreless draw before Sydney's Brazilian striker Bruno Cazarine broke the deadlock in the 76th minute - but the goal should never have been allowed.
The Jets were furious after replays showed the ball had crossed the goal line before midfielder Hiro Moriyasu squared it back to allow Cazarine an easy tap-in.
Sydney's second win of the season means they climb over the Jets and North Queensland into ninth spot, as they look to turn the corner after a dismal start to their title defence.
