The Central Coast Mariners will play in an A-League Men grand final for the first time since 2013 after surging to an emotional 2-0 win over Adelaide United.
Buoyed by 20,000 fans at a packed-out Central Coast Stadium, the first time in the Mariners' history that they had sold out the venue, quickfire goals from Samuel Silvera and Marco Tulio just after halftime broke the Reds' resistance and lifted the hosts to a 4-1 aggregate win over the semi-final's two legs.
