Melbourne City vs Wellington, A‑League Women

sportsMay 16, 202620117

Melbourne City led Wellington Phoenix 2-0 at half-time in the A-League Women Grand Final, taking early control of the match. City’s pressure shut down Wellington’s midfield and produced two long-awaited goals, with Holly putting in a standout performance. Wellington carved out late chances before the break while supporters created lively moments, including a "Save Canberra United" banner in the Yellow Fever section. The halftime score sets up a tense second half with Wellington needing to overturn a two-goal deficit to stop City clinching the title.

Calling City's finals run a championship drought is some call. #MCYVWEL

I like to think Holly Mac is a @thefarpostpod.bsky.social podcast listener with how she's playing. #MCYvWEL #ALW

Those 2 goals were a long time coming. City have been able to shut down our midfield really easily; also feels like the energy’s a bit down since the semi. Also, Holly doing Holly things - phenomenal player. Just enjoy her at the Dub while you still can. #MCYvWEL #ALWGF

If the Phoenix win should we change the women's club logo from the Phoenix to a drone? #Alw #McyvWel

Thought I was drawing this Nix fan. Turns out I was kind of drawing myself just after that Sydney goal. #MCYvWEL #ALW #NEWvSYD #ALM

Cracking first half in the Dub GF. It was closer until Holly Mac decided to play. #MCYvWEL #ALW

I know the ref is wearing mostly black with yellow accents so it's the reverse but I don't think the officials should be wearing the same colours as one of the teams... #MCYvWEL
