Melbourne City won its fourth W-League title Saturday, becoming the winningest club in league history with a 1-0 win over Sydney FC.
A goal from Steph Catley, the OL Reign player, was the difference. In the 15th minute, Catley played a one-two with Emily Van Egmond and then ripped a shot from the edge of the box. Sydney goalkeeper Aubrey Bledsoe, known to NWSL fans as the starting goalkeeper for the Washington Spirit, got a palm to it but not strong enough — the parried effort knocked the ball back into the net.
Though Melbourne ultimately prevailed on a goalkeeping error, City was indeed the better side on the day, attacking in waves while Sydney rarely looked threatening.
