I know Auckland fans may not want to hear this but the result in the 2nd leg shouldn’t downgrade what they did this season coming on as an expansion club and finishing 1st. Outstanding season. #AKLvMVC #ALeague

I remember saying that the Victory being able to keep it at one goal advantage was huge going to Auckland and wow did that prove the be the case. Looking very forward to the Grand Final and it being a #MelbourneDerby is even better. #AKLvMVC

Season newcomers #AucklandFC stumble at the final hurdle and miss out on staging the #ALeague grand final. It was just Auckland’s second home defeat in 14 matches this season. #Victory's finals experience proved the difference over two legs. #AKLvMVC

2 - Jordi Valadon provided 2 assists in #AKLvMVC tonight - he's the 2nd Melbourne Victory player to provide more than one assist in any A-League Men finals game since Opta began collecting this data in 2012/13 (Kosta Barbarouses - 2 vs ADL in Elimination Final, 22 April 2018). Valuable.

Also The Port have been a wonderful addition to the NZ sporting landscape

Dan Hall is such a class act.
He's also very handsome.
I reckon he also does the wordle in three guesses or less every day.

#AKLvMVC

Still processing that. Incredible. My kids will go to their first grand final #AKLvMVC

They're still complaining about the disallowed goal? It clearly curled out, and the linesman was in a *perfect* position looking straight across the line. Ridiculous.

#AKLvMVC finally breathing again

Arthur Diles has just become a #MVFC legend. Oh ye of little faith. #AKLvMVC

In a season that has had more away wins than any other, it's hardly surprising that the away (or nominal away) team have won 4 of the 5 #ALeagueMen finals matches thus far.

MON THE VUCK!!!!!!!!💙💙💙 #MVFC #AKLVMVC

MON. THE. FUCKING. VUCK. #AKLvMVC

Finals! #MVFC will play a local derby final, after crashing Auckland's party in the second leg of the semis with a nil-2 win. Full credit to Steve Corica and the Black Knights: worthy premiers in just their first season and made these semis a titanic battle. #AKLvMVC

#AKLvMVC Victory!!!!

Never trust kiwis to beat Victory in finals #AKLvMVC

And that's football for yer

#AKLvMVC

Squeaky bum time, as Alex Ferguson would have said. Seven minutes of additional time... #AKLvMVC

Valadon and Teague have been superb bossing the modfield this season. Wouldbe surprised if Valadon gets a national team call up soon. #AKLvMVC

#AKLvMVC was that even a foul from Bruno??

Always bitter sweet when Bruno scores for Victory. But legends never die.

#AKLvMVC

BRUNO! BRUNO! BRUNO! Fornaroli turns back the years with a fantastic finish to put #MVFC up 0-2 and a goal up in the 2nd leg of the tie. Love to see the emotion and how much it means to him: big players step up in big moments. #AKLvMVC

Come on Auckland. Literally nobody wants to see Victory win. #AKLvMVC 🖤💙

#AKLvMVC Brunoooooooo!!!!!!!

ZIZOU! Machach scores to level the tie - then waves a shirt with Brendan Hamill's name. Everything to play for and #MVFC are playing for each other. #AKLvMVC

#AKLvMVC

#AKLvMVC Machach!
