Queensland Roar 2008/09 double

Queensland Roar created history by winning the inaugural Premiership and Championship double. They only lost one game all season, which was against Canberra United in round two but had their revenge in the grand final. In front of 4,554 at Ballymore, Lana Harch and Tameka Butt scored to see Roar lift the trophy.

The double has been completed three times since then with Sydney FC doing it the following season before Canberra United and Melbourne City also bagging the double. 

Megan Rapinoe in W-League

Perhaps one of the biggest names to have graced the W-League during a two-game guest appearance with Sydney FC in 2011. The American influence was felt quickly, scoring the winner in the 83rd minute against Melbourne Victory. Want footage of the game? Unfortunately, the game was not a TV match and there is no footage of the game so the goal has been lost in W-League history.

Season 4 semi-final

It was a semi-final which had everything and it was one of the most intense battles throughout W-League history. Sydney were leading 1-0 courtesy of a Renee Rollason's strike in the 18th minute, with Roar desperately trying to find an equaliser, Sydney's Kylie Ledbrook went down with a cramp. Roar goalkeeper Casey Dumont, desperate to get the game re-started, tried to carry Ledbrook off the pitch. 

When the game eventually re-started, Emily Gielnik, dubbed the super sub, scored in the 95th minute to take it to extra time. If you thought the drama was over, it's not. Kyah Simon received her marching orders after a second yellow for a foul on Vederana Popovic and an outraged Sydney FC coach, Alen Stajcic was sent to the stands.

Aivi Luik would go on to score the winning goal in the penalty shootout.

Adelaide break their drought

Adelaide United haven't had the best luck in the W-League, being one of the only founding teams never to make the finals. However, in the last game of the 2016/17 regular season, a drought was broken. On November 9, 2008 Adelaide beat Sydney FC 3-2 with goals from Sharon Black, Victoria Balomenos and an own goal. Adelaide waited nine years, three months and 20 days before they got their next win over Sydney. 

Adelaide were coming good at the end of the 2016/17 season and had not in five games, including a draw to eventual Champions Melbourne City. Sitting on top of the table and ready to grab the Premiership with Sydney FC but Adelaide were about to let that happen. The scores were 0-0 at halftime but finished in a 5-2 win to Adelaide United with Adriana Jones double, Emily Hodgson, Sofia Huerta and an own goal helping them to victory.

It was only 12 goals

W-League is all about the unexpected, it's become a tradition each season to have a result surprise fans but this game from season five was something else.

It started off as a regular game with Sydney FC heading into halftime with a 2-1 lead over Perth Glory but a goal in the 56th minute from Aivi Luik sparked four goals in six minutes with Glory leading 4-3. However, it wasn't over with another four goals in 12 minutes and allowed Lisa De Vanna to round out her hat-trick with Perth winning 7-5.
