The Sky Blues are up against it as they try to turn around a 2-1 deficit from the first leg against a Mariners side closing in on a unique treble. Follow all the action as they battle it out for a place in the grand final.
Melbourne Victory are into the A-League Men grand final after a semi-final win for the ages, with Chris Ikonomidis’ extra-time goal defying Wellington Phoenix.Victory emerged triumphant from a titanic struggle at Sky Stadium on Saturday, where a best-ever Phoenix crowd of 33,297 willed the league minnows into a first grand final.After Paul Izzo saved a dubiously-awarded second-half penalty, Tony Popovic’s side thought they were through courtesy of Adama Traore’s 82nd-minute thunderbolt.
Substitute Oskar Zawada instead sent the crowd into delirium with a 99th-minute equaliser, and Giancarlo Italiano’s side into extra time.After a best-ever campaign marked by late drama, at that moment it felt impossible Wellington’s fairytale season would end in defeat.Instead, Ikonomidis beat his marker at the back post to bundle home an extra-time corner, before Victory’s defence finished the job by holding out wave after wave of Nix attacks.
