A history-making weekend.  

Auckland FC is hosting the A-League Grand Final, facing off against Sydney FC at a sold out Mt Smart Stadium. 

A later kick-off time has been locked in to suit the Aussie audience —8:10pm— as Auckland looks to make history in just their second season.

He says the chance to play in front of a home ground is going to drive them forward.
