This year’s finals series in men’s A-League football could be one for the history books. 

Auckland FC has made it through to the semifinals after a dramatic penalty shootout with Melbourne FC saw them clinch the win.  

They’re now set to face off against Adelaide United in a two leg clash – the first of which is taking place tonight at Mt Smart. 

Adelaide United legend and former Socceroo Bruce Djite told Piney the intensity will be high, and players will be conscious about not making mistakes since it’s only two legs. 

“You’re better off finishing nil-all and going into the second leg.”
