Jamieson gives a not-very-interesting interview on his way off the pitch about how the team had belief in him to take the penalty. Can’t blame him - halftime interviews were never a good idea. Goal! Melbourne City 2-1 Sydney FC (Jamieson, 45+1 pen)45+1 mins Caceres and Luna are in a tangle on the right edge of the box. As they hurtle in, Caceres’s leg is caught between his opponent’s and Luna goes down.
Cue the penalty appeal from every City player. Beath gives it with no hesitation. The VAR checks and it and gives the all clear. It looked more awkward than malice-driven, but there were go. Jamieson lines up to take it and, from the spot, send Heward-Belle the wrong way. Corica is visibly unhappy with the decision. That’s a PG way of putting it. Huge. Goalscorers Scott Jamieson and Nathaniel Atkinson celebrate.

Three goals and a red card within 45 minutes. Questions will be asked about that penalty. It looked sort of soft, and could have gone either way. The VAR likely didn’t overturn it because it probably wasn’t a howler of a call. Had Beath not given the penalty the VAR probably wouldn’t have overturned that either. It’s a decision, and it will stand, and Sydney have some serious halftime soul-searching to do because they need a miracle. Dare I say it, they need Ninkovic.
This game is turning into a cracker. Goal! Melbourne City 1-1 Sydney FC (Atkinson, 23)23 mins How about this. City are not going to take that lying down. They remember what last year’s grand final was like, and they have not let Sydney get on top of them once this season. And here, on the counter-attack, Colakovski blazes forward. He may as well walk, he’s been given that much space. Atkinson is there and he’s past King in an instant to level the score. Nathaniel Atkinson equalises for Melbourne City.
Kosta Barbarouses fires Sydney FC ahead. Photograph: Daniel Pockett/Getty Images20 mins Nuno on Le Fondre gives Sydney a free-kick. Brattan swings the ball in but Barbarouses is surrounded at the back post. Brattan has another go from a corner and the ball is headed clear. O’Neill duels with Bobo and City grab possession and carry it all the way to the top of City’s area. Tilio is right in there again and tries a cheeky backheel towards Colakovski. Wilkinson is there. Sydney are settling a little but they are by no means in control. Also, an update from around the grounds:The thought of grown men sitting at their kitchen tables a week out from Grand Final day, planning out there designs, carefully marking out their fonts, and collating the stickers they've been saving over the year is just so wholesome 🥰#ALeagueGF pic. twitter.
O’Neill is felled by his teammate Atkinson but City play on in search for a third goal. This is getting ridiculous. Corica subs off Caceres for Patrick Wood. 83 mins Would you have a look at that. Melbourne City fans doing the Poznan. Wonder what Wanderers fans would have to say about this. And Heward-Belle makes a double save to once again keep Sydney in this match against all odds. Tilio has a crack first and the goalkeeper beats it away.

The ball is recycled and Berenguer has it now. The Frenchman is closer and in front of goal but Heward-Belle is light on his feet and dips low for a reflex save. 79 mins Time is ticking now. Will City try for another goal or run down the clock? The intensity has dropped during the second half, and City are well in control, but they are only one out-of-the-blue counter-attack away from a Sydney equaliser.
69 mins Wilkinson is keeping his team in this. The former Socceroos centre-half has been the foundation of the Sky Blues’ superb defence over the past few seasons. He thwarts another run from Tilio, who is enjoying a breakout game in a very large shop window for the national team. Sydney have the ball and Baumjohann is hovering on the edge of City’s area, hesitating, unsure of where to go. He runs with it himself only to clatter straight into a waiting Jamieson. 66 mins Sydney enjoy at few moments in possession before City are on the prowl once again, passing with purpose but also in no rush.
Photograph: Graham Denholm/Getty ImagesGoal! Melbourne City 0-1 Sydney FC (Barbarouses, 21)21 mins Barbarouses open Sydney’s account from virtually nothing! Baumjohann, in typical Baumjohann fashion, slices a simply lovely through ball through the guts of midfield to Barbarouses. The latter takes one touch with his right foot, a second with his left, and strikes with his right, a flying, piercing bullet that bulges the left-hand corner of the net. It is his third grand final goal, and one which could not be more important for Sydney.
