City one win away from back-to-back A-League crowns after stirring semi-final comeback

Melbourne City are one win away from becoming the first team to complete consecutive A-League Men premiership-championship doubles after Jamie Maclaren delivered a 2-1 extra-time semi-final victory over Adelaide United.

Maclaren’s 92nd-minute goal sealed a dramatic second-leg comeback and tees up the first all-Victorian ALM decider against Western United at AAMI Park on Saturday, City’s third consecutive grand find appearance.

It will be the first all-Melbourne national league grand final since 1998.

Scores were locked at 0-0 after Wednesday’s first leg at Coopers Stadium and Zach Clough’s wonderful 48th-minute dink put Adelaide in front at AAMI Park, before Marco Tilio equalised in the 74th to take the game to extra time.

It was City’s first victory over a top-four team from 11 attempts this season.

The first half was largely defined by big saves from Adelaide goalkeeper Joe Gauci and City counterpart Tom Glover.

Then, three minutes after halftime, Javi Lopez found Clough, who took a touch with his left foot then coolly chipped a looping, dipping volley over Glover’s head. 

Adelaide almost doubled their lead in the 57th minute, when Kusini Yengi beat Curtis Good and attempted to finish from a tight angle, only for Connor Metcalfe to clear it over the bar.

Patrick Kisnorbo turned to Tilio off the bench in the 58th minute and 16 minutes later, the Socceroo delivered.

Andrew Nabbout floated in a cross and it went over the head of a leaping Mathew Leckie, but Tilio burst in at the back stick and headed home off the post.

In the 84th minute, Tilio charged forward and let rip with a cracking long-range effort, forcing a brilliant diving save from Gauci.

Yengi attempted to tee up Bernardo in the 90th minute but the young substitute couldn’t get a shot on target.

Two minutes into extra time, Maclaren held up the ball for Metcalfe and while Michael Jakobsen got in the way of the midfielder’s shot, he didn’t properly clear it.

The shallow clearance fell straight to Maclaren, who buried his 16th goal of the season at the near post to seal the grand final berth and condemn Adelaide to back-to-back semi-final exits.

Novak Djokovic defeats Jannik Sinner to reach Wimbledon semifinals

It’s getting to the point where whenever Novak Djokovic gets down two sets at a Grand Slam, he’ll be an even bigger   favorite   than he was at the start of a match. If he isn’t already. For the seventh time in his career, Djokovic pulled off the feat yesterday at Wimbledon, hoodwinking future star Jannik Sinner into the impostor of hope before yanking it away in a 5-7 2-6 6-3 6-2 6-2 advancement to the semifinals. Djokovic had looked completely spent in the second set after blowing a 4-1 lead in the first. It’s rare that he looks tired and out of sorts, given that he’s one of the fittest people on the planet. You can almost always count on Djokovic to get to most everything, even if his shotmaking goes off the boil for a bit. But that wasn’t the case in the second set, when he actually looked 35 and gave everyone around that age a glimmer of hope that it does indeed come for everyone. The look of lethargy shouldn’t have fooled us, and perhaps Sinner knew what was coming as even though
