SYDNEY : 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.
United had taken the lead in the fourth minute, courtesy of a Craig Goodwin penalty, but Mariners left back James McGarry curled in a sensational equaliser 11 minutes later and Cummings's clinical finish turned out to be the winner. Sydney FC have played in seven championship finals, winning five, but they will have their work cut out reaching an eighth after Friday's draw with City at Sydney Football Stadium.
Sydney FC blew their first chance to equalise when playmaker Anthony Caceres had a penalty saved by Tom Glover on the hour mark but English striker Adam Le Fondre made no mistake when the referee ordered it to be retaken because of encroachment.
