MATCHDAY AGENDA (all in AEST)

Melbourne City 3-0 Newcastle Jets – Liberty A-League Semi Final

Melbourne City will host Sydney FC at AAMI Park in next Saturday’s Liberty A-League Grand Final after completing a comfortable 6-0 aggregate win over Newcastle Jets.

After easing to a 3-0 victory in the first leg in Maitland last week, City finished the job on their home turf on Sunday, emerging 3-0 winners to book their spot in the decider.

It was a consummate victory for Dario Vidosic’s side, with Rhianna Pollicina opening the scoring after 26 minutes after a superb defence-splitting pass from Daniela Galic, before Hannah Wilkinson and Leticia McKenna iced the cake in the second half.

Sydney FC 7-1 Perth Glory – Isuzu UTE A-League

Sydney FC have booked a home Elimination Final next weekend against Macarthur FC after a wild last round 7-1 victory over Perth Glory at Allianz Stadium.

The Sky Blues needed a victory to secure a fourth-placed finish and got the job done on Sunday afternoon, getting off to the perfect start care of defender Jordan Courtney-Perkins, before doubles from Joe Lolley and Robert Mak, a rare Luke Brattan penalty and a goal from Joel King.

5pm: Melbourne City v Western United – Isuzu UTE A-League

What’s at stake? Melbourne City need to win to secure their spot in the finals and avoid missing out on the post-season for the first time since they rebranded. Any other result would see Western Sydney Wanderers clinch the final spot in the top six.
