Canberra United will appeal a decision to have a 2-1 win over Sydney FC changed into a 3-0 loss after the club was found guilty of an unauthorised substitution last month.<\/p>\n

In a move that sent Sydney FC to the top of the ladder and could have ramifications for the A-League Women finals, the Australian Professional Leagues confirmed the verdict on Monday and stripped three points from Canberra and gave the victory to Sydney along with a 3-0 win. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a significant setback for Canberra who have fallen a game behind fourth-placed Melbourne Victory in their pursuit of a finals spot.<\/p>\n

The APL ruled an unauthorised substitution made in the 93rd minute of Canberra\u2019s 2-1 victory over Sydney FC on February 11 violated competition rules. <\/p>\n

A-Leagues commissioner Greg O\u2019Rourke said Canberra had used all three of its available substitution windows when it made the change in the dying moments of the game.<\/p>\n

Under competition rules, a team can only make a substitution in an additional window if it is to replace a concussed player.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe final substitute was made at a time in the game when Canberra had already used all available windows under our regulations,\u201d O\u2019Rourke said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile it is unfortunate, the league must ensure its regulations are upheld.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canberra United chief executive Ivan Slavich said it was \u201cextremely disappointing\u201d to learn of the APL decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that we have not committed any violation of matchday regulations because of advice we received from the match officials during the fixture,\u201d Slavich said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club will be appealing the decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

United said it would make no further comment on the matter until the appeal was heard.<\/p>\n

The APL confirmed the goals scored in the clash would still count towards individual awards, and Julie Dolan Medal votes from the match would remain valid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
