    No more penalties for Rufer. Missed one to cost us the league trophy, now bottles one in the SF.

      A screamer of a goal from the Melbourne defender Traore. Totally lucked it, first goal in 10 years. The desperation level has shot up now, assuming there is no away goals rule, we need a goal with about 6 minutes plus added time to go

          Phoenix score with the final kick of regulation plus added time. Total speculator that reminds me of a Spurs goal in the UCL semi vs Ajax a few years ago. We will have extra time

            @canefan Just when it looked like they were shepherding in another disappointment.

            A very good goal, as well.

              Cool finish by Ziwada, beautiful assist from Costa

                Melbourne apparently took off a bunch of attacking players whereas the Phoenix have fresh attackers because they had to chase the game. Time to put them to the sword now

                    A minute ago, they should have been taking it to the goal but were a little bit too timid and have paid the price.

                      Conceding from a set piece is a coach killer at this stage of the game

                        We are in panic mode. Ben Old still looks dangerous but we are running out of time

                            Damn. Great season, just couldn't take the chances when they presented. Melbourne were very professional though, super solid

                              Alex Rufer's penalty taking confidence might be shot after two misses cost us a league trophy and a trip to the finals

                                Mariners would still have finished ahead on the tiebreaker if Rufer Had buried the penalty against the jets, but who knows how the season changes.

                                I don't think there's anyone on the team that I'd be really confident lining up a penalty. More generally, I think our dead ball work is the area that we need to improve - I think 1 goal from a corner (and even that was second ball recycled on the edge of the area and a cracking shot) and 1 goal from a free kick (that one was a good one!).

                                  Ecstasy and then agony. Poor defending from that corner. The Phoenix were unlucky with the Old shot hitting the post but these games are all about small margins.

                                    Kraev's header wide of goal hurt too, he should have at least got that on target

                                      I was at the game, and the moment that goal went in was the biggest release of emotion by a crowd I've ever experienced. Just a sensational feeling to be in amongst it. I wasn't at the last sold out playoff back in the Herbert era, but I've been to other playoffs and other big crowds (both Phoenix and other sports, caketin and other stadiums). Even though we lost, still makes me smile just thinking about it.

                                        I was there, and at that end of the stadium, for Rory Fallon's goal against Bahrain, so I know the feeling.

                                          I wasn't at that one, but did wonder if they might be comparable.
