Melbourne City’s triumphant 3-1 win over Sydney FC in Sunday’s grand final ensures the A-League will resume on Network Ten and Paramount+ with plenty of compelling storylines.
For 35 minutes at AAMI Park on Sunday afternoon, premiership winners City and two-time defending champs Sydney FC turned on one of the most enthralling spectacles seen all season.
Then Luke Brattan dived in on Marco Tilio ten minutes before halftime and the complexion of the whole campaign, let alone the remainder of the game, changed completely.

Melbourne City have broken through for their first A-League championship, coming from behind to beat a 10-man Sydney FC 3-1 in the grand final.
Sydney s New Zealand international Kosta Barbarouses opened the scoring in the 21st minute, with the brilliant Nathaniel Atkinson responding two minutes later, before Luke Brattan s 35th-minute red card turned the game in City s favour at AAMI Park. Captain Scott Jamieson put City ahead from the penalty spot late in the first half, while Scott Galloway slammed home a long-range belter in injury time to seal a premiership-championship double in Patrick Kisnorbo s first season as coach.

Melbourne City s Nathaniel Atkinson wrote the final chapter in a comeback story for the ages on Sunday night, winning the Joe Marston Medal as best on ground in his side s 3-1 Grand Final triumph over Sydney FC.
It s a remarkable end to an individual season which seemed all-but over in February, when the 22-year-old succumbed to a high-grade hamstring tear in early April.
The Tasmanian was ruled out for two to three months in the club s official statement on April 8. It was a blow that not only put Atkinson s 2020/21 campaign on ice, but his Olympic dream in doubt as the Australian U-23 s continued preparations for the upcoming Tokyo Olympic Games.
