Ono's brilliant display helped the Wanderers to a 2-0 win over city rivals Sydney FC, with the Japanese star setting up the first goal and masterfully scoring the second.

"Shinji is amazing," D'Apuzzo said.

"He's like a ballerina with the ball and we saw it with his goal. How he spun, he's got such a good centre of gravity and balance. What he did, if you look at a replay, you think it could have been a fluke. But that's something that comes straight from him, it's part of his game and he showed it on the night."

D'Apuzzo says it's fantastic to give Wanderers fans the bragging rights in Sydney and he hopes their first win of the season sets the ball rolling.

After starting the season with two draws, he says Saturday night's performance finally helped the players feel like their old selves.

"We showed our fighting spirit again and the type of discipline and structure we built the side on last year," he said.

"We felt like our old selves again, where I guess in previous games we were (ourselves) but we didn't do it for the full 90 minutes. On Saturday night we did it for the full 90 minutes like we're used to doing.

"It's always good to get the win out of the way and hopefully it starts a domino effect and we go on a similar streak to last year. It's also great to give something back to the fans, who have come out in their numbers and they've stuck by us when we probably weren't ourselves and it's a good reward for that."

The Wanderers' last match at Allianz Stadium was their grand final defeat to Central Coast Mariners and D'Apuzzo says it was important for the team come away from the ground with a win this time.

"We needed to get that winning feeling back at that ground — we owed that ground a win," he said.

"It did feel like a home game because our fans cheered like their usual selves and we could actually fit a bit more of our fans in that stadium than in our own stadium. But nothing's like home in Parramatta, where the fans are a little bit closer and they stick with us through thick and thin."
