It was an incredible night in Parramatta, something that was never expected and surely will never be repeated: a 6-1 victory to the Central Coast Mariners in the A-League Men grand final.
There was perhaps one moment where it could have turned. Samuel Silvera looked comfortable as he received the ball from Jason Cummings in the 34th minute at CommBank Stadium, his side ahead 1-0, almost as if the world was slowing down for him. He had started the game on the right and not looked comfortable, nervous even, with loose touches, errors and turnovers uncharacteristic of his season.
