The 2009 A-League Grand Final took place at Telstra Dome in Melbourne, Australia on 28 February 2009.

It was the final match in the A-League 2008 � 09 season, and was played between premiers Melbourne Victory FC and runners-up Adelaide United FC. Melbourne Victory won the match 1 - 0 and became the winners of the 2008 � 09 Championship, thus becoming the first team to win the A-League domestic treble, after also claiming the 2008 Pre-Season Challenge Cup, and the 2008 � 09 Premiership.

As an added touch of notoriety for the game, the Grand Final was the last ever event to be held at the Telstra Dome, the former name of Melbourne's Docklands Stadium. Due to a change in sponsorship, the stadium is now known as Etihad Stadium.

SYDNEY FC FANS, Relive Sydney's 2010 Grand Final triumph over Melbourne Victory in this video trilogy. This is part two, please do not watch this unless you have seen part one first. This is the grand final match between Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory, including regular time, a little of extra and the penalty shootout. And I apologise for all the random back-and-forth changes in the scoreboard, I didn't have much room to squeeze in the extra time before penalties. There's random bits of extra time stuck in the regular play, just because it had some cool camera angles :) ALL FOOTAGE COPYRIGHT TO FOX SPORTS MUSIC: The Battle - Narnia Soundtrack War - Avatar Soundtrack King Drum - Brand X Music Rise of the Avenger - Brand X Music
