Victory officially eliminated from the Finals.
A-Leagues 22/23, The Other Matches Thread
Watching us then Sydney is depressing.
Pain puts Western ahead 0-1 before the break. The door for CCM to sneak into second is opening a little bit.
So many chances for Adelaide but they can't score. 0-1
And Adelaide's undefeated steak is over & City win the Premiers Plate.
C'mon CCM, City, Adelaide & Sydney!!
Sotirio opens the scoring from a corner after he blew a great chance. 1-0
Get the eff in!!! Silvera equalises, 1-1
Cmon you stupid sauce bottles!!!
Silvera!!!! 1-2
Second yellow for O'Neill, Jets down to 10. 1-2
God that's stupid from someone as experienced as O'Neill. First yellow was ludicrous but even so.
Tulio!!! 1-3
That’ll do. Just need City to do the job as well.
Straight red for Jenkinson, making that final round game vs Sydney even harder for themselves. 1-3
C'mon City, a big win vs Western tonight will help us massively.
Get in!!!
J-Mac almost makes a meal of it but the balls in the back of the net, 0-1
Very feasible Brisbane and Perth don't win tomorrow, both playing better teams than themselves, and that would leave us just needing a point vs Macarthur, assuming Western don't make a comeback. Don't know where this panic about us needing a big win vs Macarthur came from
Perias levels us up just before half time. 1-1

'Just need a point' away vs McArthur makes me nervous. With our current form I think it's likely we lose.
I think the panic about need a big win vs McArthur was more IF Newcastle or WUN won both matches and at least one by a big margin (e.g 4-0, as they could then overtake our GD even if we won 1-0). Newcastle loss vs CCM means they are already out of that equation though.
J-Mac!! 1-2
He draws level with Berisha at the top of the A-League Goal Scorers table.

J-Mac breaks the record, 1-3
An his hattrick should that out at 3-1 with 15 to go we hope
So now we need Adelaide and Sydney to not lose + the Nix not to concede loads of goals vs Macarthur.

The way it's looking Nix (-7 GD) will limp into 6th, even if they lose to Macarthur.
Newcastle (-13 GD) & WUN (-14 GD) are both 3 pts behind Nix & with inferior GDs, with 1 game to play. Both need a win in their last game and by good margins.
Perth & Brisbane have 2 matches left.
Glory (4 pts behind Nix) need 2 wins or a win & a draw (with 2 GD turnaround)
Roar (5 pts behind Nix) need 2 wins.
Glory probably the Nix's biggest threat at this moment. They have 2 home games left Adelaide tomorrow & WUN next week. A draw & a win plus Nix lose to MAC and it all comes down to GD.
Vamos Adelaide for tomorrow.
Victory killing off Macarthur's very slim chances here would be good. I wasn't worried about them cuz of the GD but that changed after Friday.
Romero with a very early goal, 1-0
Yellow card for Romero for leaving the the field of play without permission to go to the loo. 1-0
Macarthur equalises at a corner, 1-1
VAR rules out a Bruno goal, 1-1
Hah! That shot against the post was almost identical to the one the Jets scored last week. Kurto stood and watched that one too.
What a save by Kurto. 1-1
...but to be fair to Kurto that is an unbelievable save!
Brooks with a late winner, 2-1
Fully deserved. Cruel on Kurto though who has singlehandedly kept them in the game today.
Judging by his post-match arm waving he is seriously pissed at his defender for losing Brooks and allowing him a free header.

C'mon Adelaide!!
Damn…
Adelaide waste a host of chances only for the Glory to score against the rub of play, 1-0.
Jovanovic!!! 1-1
