Central Coast Mariners's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Macarthur (placed 4th). Heartbreak for Mariners in their last match as Macarthur's Drew scored the winning goal deep into overtime. Hall was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.64 out of 10. The defender Hall hit two key passes and won 6 of 8 duels.

Before that match, a win away at Western Sydney Wanderers.
