2008 A-League Grand Final

This move created a stir of controversy and was protested by the Central Coast Mariners, who won the right to host the match, but to no avail.

Gary van Egmond made a risky change to his side's starting formation, playing with a back three.

The game ended in controversy after Central Coast earned a corner late into extra time in the second half.

Mariners players immediately demanded a penalty, yet referee Mark Shield decided not to award one.
