Celebrate fourth title grand final

Sydney FC upstaged Perth Glory, snatching an A-League title on penalties after a scoreless grand final to win their fourth championship.
Andrew Redmayne saved efforts from Andy Keogh and Brendon Santalab in a shootout to deny the Glory in front of a record grand final crowd.
Adam Le Fondre, Brandon O’Neill, Rhyan Grant and Reza Ghoochannejhad scored in the 4-1 penalty success.
The win brings Sydney a fourth title, meaning it sits alongside Melbourne Victory as the A-League’s most successful club once more.
It also sends Sky Blues captain Alex Brosque out on a winning note, the former Socceroo bringing the curtain down on his career.
The result broke Perth hearts, the club still yet to break through for its first title in the A-League era.
The Sky Blues will feel justice was served in the shootout after scoring what they felt was a legitimate goal in the first-half, when Matthew Spiranovic sliced Michael Zullo’s cross into the net.
The linesman incorrectly flagged Zullo as offside, and a video assistant upheld the decision despite replays appearing to show the full-back as onside.
Tense grand final tactics and a slippery pitch contributed to the goalless affair, with very few chances.
Popovic sprung a surprise by leaving Keogh out of his starting lineup, with his replacement Joel Chianese failing to cut through.
Diego Castro, a peripheral first-half figure, drew the first save of the game after half-time with a header from Ivan Franjic’s centre.
A furious bust-up between Rhyan Grant and Jason Davidson shortly after signalled the contest had finally come alive, and made the mulleted Sydney FC man a pantomime villain for the rest of the contest.
Redmayne was equal to another Castro header but Glory weren’t able to fashion cut-through moments.
In extra-time, Perth looked likely winners, still possessing pace up front thanks to the fresh Keogh and the lively Chris Ikonomidis.
With Brosque off with a tight hamstring, bringing a premature end to his final appearance, the Sky Blues were out on their feet.
Milos Ninkovic was awarded the Joe Marston Medal for his performance, though there was no standout choice for the prize.
