The Central Coast Mariners were the last of the four teams to book a Pre-Season Cup semi-final berth after defeating Sydney FC 3-0 on Sunday.

Matthew Osman, Adam Kwasnik and Andre Gumprecht provided the eye-catching goals for the winners at Canberra Stadium.

Osman's opener on 36 minutes, arguably the pick of the bunch, set the tone for one of the Central Coast's most impressive performances.

The pile driver 10 minutes before the break was the highlight of an absorbing first half between the New South Wales' rivals.
