Central Coast Mariners look best placed to reach the Australian championship final after winning 2-1 at Adelaide United in their A-League playoff semi-final on Saturday, but Melbourne City will also be quietly confident after drawing 1-1 at Sydney FC.
Central Coast's Scottish-born striker Jason Cummings scored seven minutes before halftime for his 17th goal of the campaign to silence a noisy crowd at Hindmarsh Stadium on Saturday night.
"Really tough place to come to ... the atmosphere was electric but I thought the boys handled it really well," Mariners coach Nick Montgomery told reporters.The second leg will take place next Saturday at Central Coast Stadium, about an hour north of Sydney, with the Mariners 90 minutes away from a first championship final since they won their sole A-League title in 2013.
Mathew Leckie, whose superb individual goal against Denmark earned Australia passage to the last 16 of the World Cup in November, opened the scoring for the visitors in the 18th minute with a glancing header.
