Sydney FC secured a fifth A-League championship after Rhyan Grant’s chested goal in extra-time proved the unlikely match-winner in the grand final against Melbourne City. Sydney moved ahead of Melbourne Victory, Sydney City, Marconi Stallions and South Melbourne – all on four national championships – with the victory at Bankwest Stadium and denied City a first. Glover’s excellent reflex save denied Miloš Ninković in the 62nd minute, while in the 77th minute, Redmayne blocked City substitute Scott Galloway’s dipping shot. In the 89th minute Glover, who was superb all night, ensured the game went beyond regular time. While City had some late sights on goal, Redmayne stood tall to preserve his clean sheet and secure Sydney the premiership-championship double.
