Auckland 2-0 up in the Kiwi derby, long road back for the Nix.

 

[Cromulant]

Amazing run in their first season really

 

[giggler99]

arr.. make that 3-0

 

[giggler99]

Wellington hit for six! A sad day in the Nix history! As for Auckland gonna be hard to topple them for the Premiers Plate now. You couldn't ask for a better performance in a derby, New Zealand is Blue and Black!

 

[Andonis1997]

Realistically, who did we think would own NZ football? A team led by someone who owns a Premier League and NHL club? Or a team owned and funded by a consortium that hemmorhages money by filling ¼ of Sky Stadium?

We really are being made to look like an amateur club at the moment, in all facets. Embarrassing.

Clean sweep too I think on the coverage they said that is the first clean sweep in a season in any derby in the A-League.

Yep, correct. Making history in the ways we really shouldn't be.

I’m stunned a city that has 2 professional football teams and want an NRL side don’t have a rectangle stadium.

27k at the derby. Hottest ticket in town. Sounds like it'll be an interneting night ahead, hearing the locals chanting "we want six!"

There's nowhere to build one apparently. The one place the owners identified like 10 years ago got shut down by locals.

And, money is certainly a thing nowadays.

Just the lazy 19 goals across the first 4 games of the round with Perth & Sydney to close out Saturday.

Goals are to be expected when you're getting gifts like this

Pantazopoulous should've given him a clip for that.

Do you follow Auckland more than Spurs these days?

Good times to be an Auckland fan.


Hope for your sake the club isn't bought by Levy......

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Considering Sydney went to ET midweek in Thailand and then have to travel to Perth for a Saturday night fixture.

You’d think it would be a free hit for Perth in the second half but judging by the highlights they were very lucky to nab a point and a clean sheet.

 

[Colonial]

Good work. Y Sydney to not only get the win overseas but also get something from the Perth trip.

 

[Upstart Swan]

WU's Noah Botic has quietly become the league's joint top scorer. And Ibusuki just one goal behind him.

 

[Aucklander]

Some good results for Auckland. Long way to go so it will be good to see how they handle it.
