A-League A-League Men 2024/25 Finals Thread

Has 10 Bold shown a WU match at all this season?

They've missed out on both finals so far... Should be on next weekend

Was thinking today they could have had a double header at AAMI park this weekend and offer a single ticket for both games

WU and the league literally have no money....

Getting less than 10k at AAMI Park as a WU home final has a huge loss making exercise written all over it

Well they cut down on costs shutting off half the stadium, honestly right call, half the security, half the food outlets, half the cleaning.

Was thinking of going to this game but thought the better of it and will be going to the second leg.

Wow City 3-0 up running riot!

 

[giggler99]

City with one foot in the Grand Final after that big win!

 

[AJ_2000]

5 straight for the city boys over WU dates back to October 23, and it's been over 7 hours without conceding a goal.

 

[AJ_2000]

Heck of a finish with the pick of the bunch from Cohen

 

[AJ_2000]

End to end game at the moment. Got goals written all over it. How is it still 0-0?

(11 shots on goal in 30 mins with 0 on target )

Another clinker of a semi final with advantage Auckland. A slender lead, so the Victory aren't out of it.

How did it only finish 1-0? Could this moment comeback to haunt the black knights?

Auckland take the chocolates and are in the box seat after the first leg

Considering Victory haven't scored a goal against Auckland in three attempts it will be extremely difficult for us to head over to Auckland and score two goals let alone one. Who knows through stranger things have happened I guess.

Should I be booking tickets to the granny in Auckland?

PLenty of times team overturn multiple goal leads over 2 legs. I remember an average Manchester United kicking over the All Star version of PSG (lost the home leg 2-0 then down a goal early).

If the Victory score first it might make the atmosphere extremely tense and tight in Auckland.

They're a great side but they've ridden their luck with late results all year, maybe the clock strikes 12 on their Cinderella story?

Nice to see the flogs are back at it again.

meh.. seen hundreds of these stories over the years yawn!

 

[AJ_2000]

I wonder what's in store 'across the dutch' this week...

 

[AJ_2000]

I walk away for 10 mins and the game has turned, 2 quickfire goals and the Victory lead 2-1 on aggregate.

20 mins to go, and a close call with an equaliser ruled out. Time to see if Auckland have used up all their late game magic or if it's in their DNA

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

****, Victory are arsey.

No goals in three games against Auckland and somehow score two to make another GF.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Massive choke by Auckland, like the Nix a year earlier.

Good luck to City in the decider, they deserve it.

 

[AJ_2000]

Auckland could have closed the door last weekend, but here we are.... A Grand Final in Melbourne next week (unless the APL have any bright ideas about a neutral venue in Sydney )

 

[giggler99]

What a win against all odds Victory are through to another Grand Final!

 

[Munga]

I can't believe that match wasn't on FTA instead of the next match tonight. A sensational advertisement for the league. APL don't help themselves.

 

[giggler99]

Ready for a Melbourne Derby Grand Final AJ_2000? Its been a long time coming since NSL days.

 

[Andonis1997]

Thank you, Victory

 

[AJ_2000]

Behich scores... If he's knocking them in its not a great sign for WU
