Central Coast Mariners and Melbourne City drew 2-2 in a thrilling A-League Women’s Semi-Final, with Nunn shining.

Central Coast Mariners and Melbourne City played to an exhilarating 2-2 draw in the first leg of the A-League Women’s Semi-Final at Industree Group Stadium. Brooke Nunn was the standout performer for the Mariners, scoring both of their goals, while Leticia McKenna and Bryleeh Henry found the net for City, keeping the tie finely balanced ahead of the second leg.

Nunn opened the scoring in the 20th minute, giving Central Coast an early advantage. However, Melbourne City quickly responded with two goals before halftime, with McKenna’s stunning free-kick equalizing the score and Henry putting City ahead just minutes later. Nunn’s second goal in the 54th minute ensured the match remained competitive as both teams showcased their attacking prowess.

Melbourne City, the two-time reigning premiers, faced challenges with star player Lourdes Bosch sidelined due to soreness and Golden Boot winner Holly McNamara starting on the bench due to a training niggle. The stage is set for a thrilling second leg in Melbourne on May 10, where City will aim to leverage their home advantage to secure a spot in the Grand Final. The A-League Women’s Finals Series continues with Adelaide United taking on Melbourne Victory on May 4, 2025.
