Knock-out football has arrived. 

Auckland FC is going head-to-head with Melbourne City tonight in a must-win match – the winner moving on to the A-League semi-finals. 

There’s weight on the shoulders of Guillermo May, Auckland FC’s all-time leading goal scorer, with Sam Cosgrove and Jesse Randall’s involvement questionable, as they’re both suffering from injuries. 

May told Piney since it’s an elimination final, they have to be a lot braver in their play. 

“Melbourne City’s been in the last, maybe ten games, they’ve been in a really, really food run, so we have to be on our best to win the game.”
