City win 2-0 over Phoenix. Behich with the first goal, albiet a deflection. His name on the score sheet, and Paramount talking heads gove him the 3 points for MOTM. He's on the plane!

35th minute. Rogerson tried to clear for Auckland but the ball hit his hand. Presumably no VAR because he had played at it. Such a stupid law that no hand ball is given if the ball hits the hand of the player after they have played at it! He clearly got an advantage from the hand ball.

Great goal to Lino and Victory lead Auckland 1-0 after 23 minutes.

Congrats to Mitch Duke for announcing his retirement after the 2026 World Cup. Allows for the regeneration needed for the next cycle with the 2027 Asian Cup in January. He has led the line well, and scored a memorable World Cup goal against Tunisia in 2022. Well played lad!! I suspect that he...

Azarni and Atkinson combining well tonight for City. They are being given a lot of space to work in.

Nestory for a relatively short bloke contests heading duels well, and makes a good percentage of them. His timing of his jumps is excellent.

Will City win this and make a run for the Toilet Seat? I suspect they have the cattle to do it.

CCM and Sydney end up Nil all, gifting Victory a place in the finals. Brisbane up 2 - 1 after 68 minutes and currently in 5th spot.

That's an interesting comparison. I would argue that Milligan actually was the better player technically, however Jedinak certainly had the better "presence" on the pitch and achieved a higher platform than he otherwise would have, and therefore his overshadowed Milligan's career. I also wonder...

Depending on results, could still end up 7th and outside the final series.

8 Yellows (Auckland) to 1 (Adelaide). Sakai should have had a red with his tackle of Janovic when he (Sakai) was on the ground.

Words fail me!

Duke is putting on a master class this evening. 2 goals and an assist.

Couple of big games for the season ending table tonight. Roar could sneak into the top six! I live in hope, almost join the top six :(.
