Ante Juric will give captain Princess Ibini every chance to feature for Sydney FC in the second leg of their A-League Women semi-final after the Sky Blues took a 1-0 lead in the tie with a win over Central Coast Mariners.
A cool second-half strike from Mackenzie Hawkesby helped Sydney seal victory in front of 4014 at Industree Group Stadium in Gosford on Sunday to move Juric's side to within touching distance of a seventh-straight grand final.
