A-League Men Round 25/26 - The Final Matches!!

[giggler99]

A-League the final Rounds are finally here, its been another long slog of a season with COVID postponements and reschedules at one point we thought the season wouldn't be completed but we've made it and what a final set of matches we have! The Premieres Plate is still up for grab but City can clinch it as early as tonight depending on results, the top four is still up for grabs, will Adelaide be able to hang on a fast finishing CCM? and the battle for the final spot in the six is on the line too will the Nix hang on? or can Sydney FC rely and perform a miracle to make it? anything is possible in the A-League!

A break down on the final round matches and what they mean for the premiers plate and finals

Finals equation: Your club's finals scenario - KEEPUP

With just 10 games left to play in the 2021-22 A-League Men's campaign the Premiership, top two, top four and top six are still yet to be confirmed as the stakes raise in the run home.

It's all to play for! Grandstand finish ahead.

 

[giggler99]

Looks like WU have blown it all they could manage is a draw against the Jets. City just need to win and they are crowned Premiers!

 

[AJ_2000]

Perth up 1-0 early....

 

[giggler99]

WOW City s**t the bed too losing 2-0 to Perth!

The Premiers Plate will all come down to the final matches over the weekend

 

[Colonial]

We will lose.

 

[Aucklander]

Well done lads. One game to go and finals bound.

 

[giggler99]

With the Nix winning tonight the top six is settled

No finals for you Sydney F.C!
(In soup nazi voice)

 

[giggler99]

Victory defeat Sydney 4-1 pressure back on City to win Monday night!

 

[Colonial]

[Colonial]

yeah but it was a good run mate this day always was coming.

That is true, but a blind man could see this coming and the club rested on its laurels.

 

[Andonis1997]

Good god.

 

[AJ_2000]

Good god.

Just resting till next week to catch United on the break

 

[Andonis1997]

Hahaha, there's no chance of a second goal for the Nix. Just glad Waine got a goal for his confidence, ready for the finals

You don't watch many city games?

 

[Andonis1997]

You don't watch many city games?

Nope, but I do watch a lot of Nix games

 

[AJ_2000]

Tight finish, we don't do anything easy! Fitting end of the season to come down to the dieing moments. What a season.

Only 2nd team to go back to back Premiers in 18 seasons of the A League.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Oh boy, City now the fourth most successful club in HAL history after Sydney, Vuck and Roar.

Feels good to be Kings, and hope you all had a pleasant night Victory fans x

 

[Aucklander]

Much better 2nd half. Had a crack and made City earn it. Looking forward to Sunday and a season of games back in NZ.

 

[giggler99]

Arrr… so close what a way to finish the H&A season.

Congrats to City back to back premiers isn’t easy in this league hell of an achievement.

Looking forward to finals now.

Crazy stat in the coverage, Wellington have 0 (Zero) points if the opposition score first, which happened 11 times - all of their losses (crazy if true)

Conversely, Wellington are 12 w 3 d when scoring first

So Wellingtons fortune is tied to the first goal - look out Western United....

 

[AJ_2000]

Nope, but I do watch a lot of Nix games

The Victory fans there tonight we're Fauxnix fans.... (I'll let myself out)
