It didn't take long for Spanish striker David Villa to make an impact during his A-League debut with the Melbourne City.
Villa, who's on a 10-match loan from Major League Soccer's New York City FC, was brought into the match in the 48th minute, but quickly saw his side go down 1-0 six minutes later.
The former Barcelona striker brought his squad back into the match in the 63rd minute when he created enough space beyond a Sydney FC defender and sent the Melbourne fans into a frenzy with a composed finish from the top of the box.
