Canberra qualifies to semi-finals in last chance match
The first half of the Canberra United v Perth Glory match was a stalemate, with neither side succeeding in scoring goals. Perth then took the lead in the 52nd minute, leaving the crowd on the edge of their seats because Canberra would not advance with a loss. In the 68th minute, Canberra scored the equalizer. Canberra sealed the deal in the 86th minute with a second goal to solidify their place in the semi-finals. Lori Lindsey played in potentially the last home game of her amazing career. Game Recap.
Season over for Newcastle Jets
In a very rainy match, the Newcastle Jets went down in the first half to Sydney FC 1-0. They managed to score an equalizer in the early stages of the second half and then took the lead in the 70th minute. Sydney FC came back in the 80th minute with an equalizer of its own, which put Sydney FC into the semi-finals. Newcastle had to wait for results of another match, but the results did not go their way, and their season is over. Tori Huster, Katherine Reynolds, and Angela Salem all played for the Jets. Game Recap.
