SYDNEY (AP) " Sydney FC's six-match winning start in the A-League ended when it drew with Brisbane 1-1 on Saturday in a performance coach Graham Arnold called its best of the season. Josh Brillante gave Sydney the lead with a long-range strike in the 13th minute " a candidate for goal of the season " and the league leaders dominated for long periods. But a skilful reply by midfielder Thomas Kristensen in the 40th leveled, and Sydney was unable to find a way to stretch its winning streak to seven games. It remains six points clear of Melbourne City, which drew with Western Sydney Wanderers 1-1, while Brisbane's home point was enough to keep it in third place. Teenage substitute Lachlan Scott scored in stoppage time to give Western Sydney a 1-1 draw with Melbourne City.
