Melbourne City Wins Second A-League Title Over Melbourne Victory
Melbourne City captured their second A-League Championship by defeating cross-town rivals Melbourne Victory 1-0 in the first-ever Melbourne derby grand final, held at AAMI Park before a record crowd. Yonatan Cohen scored the decisive early goal, and Melbourne City’s disciplined and well-organized defense, led by a resilient Mathew Leckie, who played despite a bloodied nose, managed to hold off Victory’s persistent attacks. The match, noted for its tension and physicality, saw City maintain composure and capitalize on Victory’s fatigue, as Victory had played their previous match just a week earlier. Melbourne City’s victory marked their fifth grand final appearance in six years and solidified their status as the dominant Victorian football club, showcasing their consistency and experience in high-stakes matches. The triumph was especially significant for City Football Group-owned Melbourne City, highlighting their clinical and professional performance throughout the season and finals series. Victory’s efforts fell short despite early pressure and key saves by their goalkeeper, leaving them with a seven-year championship drought.
