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.
