Glory head coach Bobby Despotovski complimented Sydney’s players and the team’s tactical nous all over the park.

He also acknowledged that fatigue and extensive travel over the past week may have played a role in Perth's performance, as the players looked sluggish and slow, particularly in the first half, and couldn't find their way back into the game after going behind 2-1.

Sydney coach Ante Juric, on the other hand, was absolutely thrilled with his team’s performance.

“Very proud of the [players], they were sensational,” he said.

“It was probably the best game we’ve played.

Juric was particularly complimentary of his defence.

“With Sam Kerr and Hill, they keep getting patches where they attack and they’re dangerous, so I thought Alanna Kennedy and Liz Ralston – and the whole back four – were sensational,” he said.

However, it’s difficult to look past those goals – one each for Huerta and Logarzo, and a brace for Player of the Match Savannah McCaskill, who Juric particularly praised.

“Big players step up and she’s been huge the whole year,” Juric said.

“She’s a world-class player, not just a good player – a world class player. I’m surprised she’s not in the national team but I have no doubt she’ll get there, she’s still so young.”

It was a fitting Grand Final for what was the closest W-League season in history: two star-studded teams, a bunch of amazing goals, and some fantastic football across the full 90 minutes of play. What next season holds, only time will tell.
