Never the ending you envision – especially in a championship game. After an impressive 3-0 victory against then-defending champs Canberra United on Jan. 23, goalkeeper Michelle Betos and Sydney FC endured a tough, 4-1, loss to Melbourne City FC in Australia’s W-League Grand Final on Saturday.
The win for Melbourne City capped a perfect end to an undefeated season.
Melbourne City, who scored three second-half goals, kept Betos and the Sydney FC backline busy all afternoon, attempting 11 shots from inside the area and putting nine of those on frame.
