Melbourne City win the A-League Women Championship with a 3-1 grand final victory over Wellington Phoenix at AAMI Park. All five outlets describe the match as being decided by standout attacking performances from Matildas-linked stars Holly McNamara and Leticia McKenna. McNamara scores twice, including a first-half opener in the 41st minute after a spin and strike from outside the box, then adds a second goal two minutes later by cutting through Wellington’s defence and finishing low into the corner. Leticia McKenna extends City’s lead with a “screamer” or stunning strike, as reported across multiple summaries, further separating the sides. Wellington scores once in reply, but it is not enough to prevent City from securing the domestic double. With the win, Melbourne City claim a record-equalling fifth A-League Women Championship title, matching the league’s existing mark, and the victory is widely framed as the culmination of a season in which McNamara also wins the Golden Boot for the most goals in the regular season.
