Adelaide United 3-1 Western Sydney Wanderers: Reds seal maiden A-League title

Goals from Bruce Kamau, Isaias and Pablo Sanchez earned A-League grand final glory for Adelaide United with a 2-1 win over Western Sydney.

Adelaide United overcame Western Sydney Wanderers 3-1 in a pulsating grand final at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday to claim its first A-League title.

There was little to choose between the sides this season as they shared three draws but Adelaide, perhaps crucially, finished a point better off in the standings to secure the Premiers' Plate and home advantage.

Bruce Kamau put the hosts in front and Isaias' superb free kick meant Guillermo Amor's men were firmly in control at the interval.
