Matchweek 15 wrapped up on Wednesday, April 7 after a six-day, nine-game football feast which began and concluded with Central Coast Mariners on top of the pile.
Sydney FC snuck into the top four after two Matchweek 15 wins over Melbourne Victory and Perth Glory. Melbourne City had the chance to overthrow the Mariners at the top but a 2-1 loss to Western United stopped Patrick Kisnorbo s side in their tracks. City did, however, respond well to defeat by edging Wellington Phoenix 3-2 on Monday night.
Macarthur FC dealt Perth the first of their two defeats for the Matchweek to go three games unbeaten - the Bulls now occupy third spot on the table.

After Match Week 6 of the 2020-21 A-League season, Brisbane Roar sat second on the ladder after stringing together four consecutive victories.
It was an impressive run and one littered with attractive goals and the product of coach Warren Moon’s effective game plan.
The obvious markers of the Roar’s play were keeping the tempo of matches at an uncomfortably high level for opponents, pressing frantically when required and adopting a trigger happy approach in the final third.

Sunday s clash at AAMI Park shaped as a must-win for Mark Rudan s side after two consecutive losses and Dylan Pierias 72nd-minute header proved enough.
In the process, United extended the Roar s winless run to six games - with Warren Moon s side last securing three points against Melbourne Victory on February 6.
Italian star Diamanti returned to the squad after missing their loss to Sydney FC but was named on the bench.
The game was pushed back half an hour in the wake of Central Coast s clash with Perth suffering a rain delay and it was Brisbane who started fastest.
