Melbourne City made history as just the fourth invincible team in A-League Women history.

Under Michael Matricciani , City dashed any hopes of a dramatic crescendo in the premiership race by cruising to a 5 -1 win over Perth Glory on Friday .

Victory missed the playoffs for the first time in their 17-year history.

Adelaide United have won 14 games, finished third and will host Western United an elimination final.

All the teams finished 10 points behind Adelaide and 20 behind City.

The likelihood of them crashing the party would appear slim given they’d have to win a two -legged semi-final before getting a puncher’s chance in a one -off grand final.

The Mariners and Canberra , who will meet in one elimination final, are at least coming off wins.
