• Sydney FC 1-0 Melbourne City (aet)
• Grant scores improvised effort in 100th minute

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.

Grant, awarded the Joe Marston medal for his man-of-the-match performance, popped up at the back post on the 100-minute mark to guide a sublime Luke Brattan ball past Thomas Glover in the City goal with a clever bit of improvisation.
