Jamie Maclaren delivered City a 2-1 extra-time semi-final win to set up a first all-Melbourne national league grand final since 1998.

Patrick Kisnorbo turned to Tilio off the bench in the 58th minute and 16 minutes later, the Socceroo delivered.

It was City’s first victory over a top-four team from 11 attempts this season.
