Central Coast Mariners 6-1 Melbourne CityJason Cummings scores hat-trick as underdogs upset premiers
It was a wondrous night, an incredible night, something that was never expected and surely will never be repeated: a 6-1 victory to the Central Coast Mariners in the 2023 A-League Men grand final.
There was perhaps one moment where it could have been said to have turned. Samuel Silvera looked comfortable as he received the ball from Jason Cummings in the 34th minute of Saturday’s A-League Men grand final, his side ahead 1-0, almost as if the world was slowing down for him. He had started the game on the right and not looked comfortable, nervous even, with loose touches, errors, and turnovers uncharacteristic of his season.
