Chelsea vs Western Sydney Wanderers LIVE scores: Sydney Super Cup results, highlights, latest news; Xabi Alonso’s debut as manager of Premier League football giants

Aydan Hammond is in dreamland!

The talented 21-year-old Wanderers midfielder missed an early chance but has now made a name for himself with a lovely goal to put the A-League wooden-spooners in front!

Hammond showed great feet to create space in the box and fire home for a shock 2-1 lead.

This was not in the script.

We’ve had 34 minutes of play at Accor Stadium.

Anthony Pantazopoulos has got the Western Sydney Wanderers back on level terms!

He will remember this moment forever as he scores the equalising goal with a back post header in the 14th minute.

Pantazopoulos applied the finish after Brandon Borrello’s headed assist from a corner.

It’s 1-1 and the Wanderers faithful are up and about!

Plenty for the new boss to ponder.

New Chelsea signing Dastan Satpayev has scored in the sixth minute!

In his first game for the club, the Kazakh international has lit up Accor Stadium by timing his run and picking his spot with a thumping, confident finish.

“Unbelievable, what an impact! You can see why Chelsea have paid big bucks. Look at him explode, look at the power. It’s a world-class finish,” Erik Paartalu says on Paramount+.

The 17-year-old’s transfer fee from FC Kairat Almaty to Chelsea is a reported package of $6.5 million (including add-ons), which sets a record for the Kazakhstan Premier League.

It was a lovely sweeping team movement that started at the feet of the goalkeeper.

According to Transfermarkt, who are the authorities on such matters, Chelsea’s squad is worth about $2.13 billion - a truly staggering amount.

That astronomical figure is more than 190 times the total value of the Western Sydney Wanderers’ squad, which is valued at around $11.15 million.

Nine.com.au was at Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso’s press conference yesterday where he was peppered with questions about the monster $224 million signing of England World Cup star Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa.

The Rogers fee surpasses England teammate Elliot Anderson’s $222m switch from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City earlier this month as the biggest-ever for a British player.

“For sure, it’s a great signing. I think that in that position we needed an important player, and I’m sure that there were not many more better options than Morgan, so we are delighted,” Alonso said.

Chelsea has won five titles in the Premier League era while the Wanderers were wooden spooners in the 2025-26 A-League. Sportsbet are paying $14 for a Wanderers upset tonight.
