Spurs started with a young side, before bringing on the likes of Ben Davies, Mateus Fernandes, Richarlison, Conor Gallagher and Mathys Tel. Dane Scarlett opened the scoring in the 12th minute, before Richarlison rounded out the result in the second half.

Tottenham’s record in Australia
Tottenham Hotspur have a rich history in Australia dating back 50 years, with the club making six separate visits before the 2026 Sydney Super Cup.
Spurs first toured Australia in 1976, playing five matches against state representative teams and an Australia XI. They returned nine years later for the 1985 International Soccer Tournament, facing Sydney City, Marconi, South Melbourne Hellas and an Australia XI.
After a 30-year absence, Tottenham came back to Sydney in 2015, when Harry Kane scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Sydney FC at Allianz Stadium.
The club returned again just a year later for the 2016 International Champions Cup, defeating Juventus 1-0 before losing 1-0 to Atlético Madrid in front of more than 78,000 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
More recently, former Socceroos boss Ange Postecoglou brought Tottenham back to Australia twice during his tenure. His first match in charge came at Perth’s Optus Stadium in July 2023, where Spurs were beaten 3-2 by West Ham United, before returning in May 2024 for a post-season friendly against Newcastle United at the MCG. That match finished 1-1, with Newcastle winning 5-4 on penalties.
The 2026 Sydney Super Cup marks Tottenham’s seventh visit to Australia. Spurs will first take on Sydney FC before facing Chelsea in the first men’s match between two English clubs to be played on Australian soil.
