After Manchester City won the English title and Troyes won the second French league, one more City Football Group club, mostly owned by a company from the United Arab Emirates, became champion in their country: Melbourne City took the first championship in Australia.
In the final, City beat Sydney FC 3-1, at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, taking revenge for what happened last season, against the same opponent (1-0).
Sydney FC were reduced to ten in the 35th minute, due to the accumulation of yellow cards by Luke Brattan. Melbourne City had taken the lead on 21 minutes by Kostas Barbarouses, but Nathaniel Atkinson equalized two minutes later before captain Scott Jamieson again gave the hosts the advantage in first-half and penalty kicks. Also in compensation, but in the second half, Scott Galloway confirmed the historic moment of the team sponsored by City Football Group.
