Melbourne Victory 1 Brisbane Roar 0: Berisha breaks resistance to book Grand Final spot

Besart Berisha sent Melbourne Victory into the A-League Grand Final as they gained revenge for last year's defeat to Brisbane Roar.

Melbourne Victory will face Sydney FC in the A-League Grand Final thanks to their 1-0 win over Brisbane Roar at AAMI Park on Sunday.

Besart Berisha scored the only goal of the game in the 70th minute to secure a deserved victory for Kevin Muscat's side and avenge their 2-1 defeat to Brisbane in last year's quarter-final.

Brisbane won 1-0 in the last meeting between these teams in March but were largely second best on this occasion, suffering a semi-final defeat for the second year running following last season's remarkable 5-4 extra-time defeat to Western Sydney Wanderers.
