Despite a strong attacking connection between Perth Glory and Sky Blue FC teammates Sam Kerr and Nikki Stanton, Perth Glory fell 2-0 to Melbourne City in the 2016/2017 Westfield W-League Grand Final. As is the case with any league championship match, the League Grand Final was a physical, extremely competitive match as both teams battled to life the trophy for only the second time in their team histories.
Despite Perth dominating possession (67%) and leading in shots (13-9), shots on goal (6-3) and corners (7-1), their inability to finish proved to be their fatal flaw in the match.
