MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Western United stunned crosstown rivals Melbourne City with a deserved 2-0 victory in the A-League playoff Grand Final on Saturday to become champions of Australia in only their third season of existence.

The expansion team scored twice in the first half an hour through a Nuno Reis own goal and a Aleksandar Prijovic strike before holding on as City came out back at them in the second half at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.

The scorer of two goals as United beat four-times champions Melbourne Victory in the semi-finals, Prijovic hit the mark for the 13th time this season in the 30th minute. City, who were heavy favourites going into the match as reigning champions and having topped the league in the regular season to win the Premiers Plate, were stung into a response after the break.
