Surprisingly low attendance, but it was pissing down I guess.

Do away goals count?
You cant just pick and choose which laws to follow. Sure Id like to tape a baseball game without the express written consent of major league baseball, but thats just not the way it works.-Hank Hill
For those who watched the whole thing, how did the game feel prior to the red cards? Are CCM likely to romp home in the second leg?
I didn't think the 2nd red was worthy of even the second yellow. 2-1, not out of it yet. only just over 14k in attendance.
Well after this result it is clear they moved the goram food show for nothing.

Don't write Sydney off. Nothing to lose and yes, they could score 2 goals. A bit unlucky not to last night. 1 Goal disallowed for a slight offside by a player not involved with the initial go at goal.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Talay is such a loser. Mediocre for 4 straight years with us (except for maybe 4 good months in his first season). And can't even draw against the Mariners two days after they flew halfway across the world in cattle class. Really pathetic.
As far as I know CCM flew business class. Cannot remember where I read it (newspaper portal, not social mediia).
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days
Nah, it's the opposite - they flew cattle class:

By the time they return to Australia after the final, they will have travelled roughly 100,000 km, which is almost three times the circumference of Earth. And that’s not even including the weekly demands of the A-League, which are tough enough on their own. They’ve flown economy class the whole way, too, and nobody has complained. “Business class? Honestly, it’s not us,” Simon said.

Jack Rodwell may have played his last game for Sydney FC after receiving a two-match ban which will rule him out for the rest of the A-League Men season @AAPSport https://t.co/SEcjmEXQtA

Thanks for clarifying - I must have misread it.

Thank you, Mariners Family! 💛💙

CCM vs Sydney FC game officially a sell out. Great to see the league's 2 'smallest' clubs selling out when the 2 'biggest' clubs cou
Faghani doing a reverse Elder here. An accidental boot to the head for Doka and Faghani doesn’t stop play and angrily chases him off the field.
Did Wooton get his yellow card for slowing down play during a substitution rescinded?

0-0 at full time between CCM and Sydney.
Means Gosford hosts the GF against Victory next week.

Bullshark call to rule off the Sydney goal.
The angle from behind the goal, shows that Kaltak was clearly impeded/slowed down by the offside SFC player. Without that impediment he may haver got back faster to prevent the goal going over the line.
Tough on SFC, but that causes enough doubt to disallow the goal. Uffie post match not happy though.
Well done Mariners, and great for their fans and community they finally get to host a Grand Final. Unjust that they have had to hold them in Sydney until now. Right decision this time by the APL.
A 'small club' like the Nix, hopefully they pull off the treble. Great feat if so. I gave them little chance of doing it a month ago, and now it's so close for them. But the VUC will be tough.
In 2024, the Victory have won 5 out of 20 games (in Normal Time). CCM have won 19 out of 26 games. Kinda astonishing that Victory are in this position but they won the 2 Finals matches in extra time/pens that really count.

Cmon Salty Dogs. Do the treble!
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
"The two best defensive units in the league". Bugger off Harper, not even statistically close in Victory's case.
Lolley wins the Alex Tobin Award, surely he adds the Johnny Warren Medal to that tonight?
Just not happening for CCM tonight. 0-1
Excellent cut back from Barcellos. He's been good since he came on.
And Nisbet, well what can you say, he's a superb little player.

Edmondson celebrates his 2nd in front of the VUC fans! They don't react well.
Congrats Mariners. Great to see them win.
Maybe Corica will revitalise Brimmer. He's had a very average season.
Nix's loss aside a great final series I thought. Full houses the last few weeks. Hopefully APL can use it to get a much better broadcast deal, when it's next due to expire.
Poppa cursed to never win the toilet seat. Nice shot of guy with a Vanuatu flag in the stands.

Congrats to the Mariners, absolutely deserved. Nice to see such a hard fought final without the slightest bit of controversy.
Nice to see a good old fashioned pitch invasion at the end there too. Something of a rarity these days.
Congratulations Mariners. The resilience they have shown this season even after losing their top scorer through serious circumstances and having to play some important games within a short time has been incredible.
