Roar gets last spot in finals

OLD rivals Melbourne Victory and Adelaide United will clash in an ALeague elimination final while Brisbane clinched the last finals berth after a dramatic closing round.

The Roar’s 3-2 away win over fellow finals aspirant Perth on Saturday lifted the Queensland side into sixth after they entered Round 27 a point behind Western Sydney. Brisbane will play third-placed Melbourne City at AAMI Park on Friday.

Two days later, the same venue will host Victory and Adelaide.
