Auckland FC fans might not have to wait until kickoff to start celebrating on Sunday. If Melbourne City fail to beat Adelaide United the night before, the Black Knights will have already secured the A-League Premiership.
Even if that doesn’t happen, a draw against last-placed Perth Glory at Go Media Stadium is all Auckland need to clinch the Premiers Plate — and make history as the first New Zealand club to win either the Premiership or Championship in the league’s 20-year run.
They’re coming in with momentum too, after a 2-0 away win over Melbourne Victory on April 19.
Perth, meanwhile, are clinging to survival. Rooted to the bottom of the table with 14 points, they sit just one behind Brisbane Roar and are trying to dodge a second-straight wooden spoon. Their 4-1 win over Adelaide United on April 12 showed fight — but consistency has been the bigger issue.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this A–League clash, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and all the latest team news.
