THE fallout from Saturday night’s heated Sydney derby looks set to continue all week - and much of it will centre around the experienced Sasa Ognenovski.

The Sydney FC defender was involved in just about every flashpoint during his team’s dramatic 3-2 win over the Wanderers at Allianz Stadium and could find himself in strife for his part in a melee.

Already on a yellow card, Ognenovski was lucky to escape a second booking when he appeared to take a sneaky swipe at Vitor Saba’s head after Western Sydney’s Brazilian playmaker was shown a straight red for a tackle on Terry Antonis.

POPOVIC FUMING AT REFEREES

If the referee didn’t spot the incident, it could come up for review by the A-League’s match review panel on Monday.

Ognenovski’s antics in the box continued to incense the Wanderers and the 35-year-old again got carried away when he remonstrated with his own goalkeeper Vedran Janjetovic for assisting Brendan Hamill when the Wanderers defender went down with cramp.

Boundaries are often stretched during derby games and Bernie Ibini says the fiery nature of the game just proved how desperate both teams were to get the win.

The Sky Blues striker, who was himself in the middle of a controversial moment when he was caught in an off-side position for Sydney’s equalising goal, admits it was one of the most tempestuous encounters he has ever played in.

“If you saw the tackle that went in on Terry (Antonis) and then you could see what Sasa was doing as well - I think it shows just how much we wanted to win the game,” Ibini said.

“It definitely is fierce when both teams want to win so much and both sets of fans are going at it as well, it’s definitely special to play in.”

But that won’t be the last the Wanderers see of Ognenovski this week. The Western Sydney club isn’t too pleased that, especially following his unsporting behaviour on the pitch, Ognenovski is expected to be on the panel for Fox Sports during their coverage of this weekend’s first leg of the Asian Champions League final.

Ibini described Ognenovski as being “a bit wounded” after the game, but he’s a “strong guy”.

While the Wanderers will look to bounce back from their bitter loss against Al-Hilal on Saturday, the Sky Blues host Adelaide United in the quarter-finals of the FFA Cup on Tuesday night.

And Ibini says the dramatic derby win can set them up for the season.

“I think it’s definitely great for confidence,” he said.

“It shows how much belief we have within each other in this playing group and I think we can really build on that.”

Meanwhile, Football Federation Australia will investigate an incident during the game where fans invaded the pitch following Alex Brosque’s match-winning goal.
