Mine is set to an Eastern European country, might be Romania again. I'm told USA was working for the YouTube stream also.
That's now two fouls which would've 100% been red cards in the A League.
CCM open the scoring! 1-0 (2-1)
Doka with a huge chance to seal it but fires straight at the Keeper. 1-0 (2-1)
Set my vpn to USA and got the YouTube English feed.
CCM seal it with an oggie. 2-0 (3-1)
Beautiful little ball from Nisbet. He does this week after week.
And another, 3-0 (4-1)

If he doesn't head overseas this off season, I'll be utterly amazed. He has been fantastic all season & playing further up the park, his lack of size is less of an issue.

But also well done to CCM - huge achievement to make the final
Inbox: The AFC has announced that the #AFCCup final between the Central Coast Mariners and Al-Ahed will take place in Muscat, Oman on May 5. Time is TBD.

AFC have apparently announced the final is going to be played in Muscat, Oman on May 5
So the big AFC Cup final for the Mariners tonight.
In Muscat, Oman against Al-Ahed from Lebanon.
Great effort by CCM to get to the Final, though in truth their toughest game to now was a playoff against Macarthur. Hopefully the Mariners win and party hard.

Why doesn't "Muscat, Oman" autocorrect to 'Oh Manny Muscat'?
Victory win. We play in Melbourne next weekend.
Izzo was great in the pens. But I thought the rest of them was pretty average tonight. We should go there with no fear.
Amazing result for CCM, they've been dominant throughout and have had to deal with a lot.

That is outstanding. You have to hand it to them.
Kuol the hero. The $US1.5M will be handy cash.
To think as a club they really were a mess not that many years ago.
Seem like the Nix to now have very sound owners. Credit to them, and gives you some faith the A League can surivive.
Only 3 mins of highlights but looks like Nisbet was dangerous. Surely the Mariners get a nice offer for him from somewhere. Gives small guys hope they can make it! Apparently for many years various clubs wrote him off as just not being big enough physically.

Trivia.
Scotland's Lee Erwin, who had a couple seasons with Logan Rogerson & Oli Whyte at Haka in Finland - started for Al Ahed against the Mariners last night. Him & Rogerson were a great double act for Haka in 2022, Erwin with 20 goals in 28 games that season, and assist king Rogerson an AWs call up.
One's now in Lebanon & the other in Armenia!
Looks like Lebanese clubs are still playing domestic league games in Lebanon just international games like AFC Cup at neutral venues, due to the violence in the region.
