Four members of the Socceroos' World Cup squad — Andrew Redmayne, Mathew Leckie, Jamie Maclaren and Marco Tilio – have been recognised for their efforts in Qatar as they made their first appearance back in the A-League Men competition.
It was a triumphant return for goalkeeper Redmayne, as Sydney FC defeated the previously unbeaten Melbourne City 2-1, despite the ladder leaders featuring Leckie, Maclaren and Tilio.
