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

As far as I know CCM flew business class. Cannot remember where I read it (newspaper portal, not social mediia).
Thanks for clarifying - I must have misread it.
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
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.
Do away goals count?
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?
Just under 14k I think, so even worse
Well after this result it is clear they moved the goram food show for nothing.
Except for the first ten minutes when CCM had lots of good chances I thought it was a pretty even affair. The thing about Sydney is that even with the huge loss of Lolley and now Rodwell they still have enough talent to catch CCM out in the second leg. I was impressed with how hard they fought in the last 15 minutes when down to nine men. Keeping it to a 2-1 loss still gives them plenty to play for.
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.

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.

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?

Bullshark call to rule off the Sydney goal.
0-0 at full time between CCM and Sydney.
Means Gosford hosts the GF against Victory next week.
