Melbourne City and Sydney FC’s Semi Final tie couldn’t be set up any better heading into the second leg on Friday night.
Neither side left Allianz Stadium with the ascendancy, after the first leg ended in a 1-1 draw following goals from both Mathew Leckie and Adam Le Fondre.
The result could have been markedly different had it not been for the offside flag and the VAR, with Sydney denied two goals, while their dispatched spot-kick was on the second attempt after Callum Talbot encroached the penalty area.

City, however, will go in full of confidence having not lost as the home team at AAMI Park since February 2022, with their last loss against the Sky Blues at the same venue coming all the way back in November 2018.
In fact, they’ve only lost once in their last eight league matches against Sydney.
Tonight, one of the two sides will progress from this perfectly-poised tie, booking a spot in the 2022-23 Isuzu UTE A-League Grand Final.
