6:19 am on 26 January 2009

Melbourne Victory clinched the A-League football minor premiership title yesterday and booked a place in next year's Asian Champions League after Adelaide United only managed to beat Central Coast Mariners 1-0.

Adelaide now face Melbourne in the first leg of the home and away major semi-final next weekend with Queensland playing the Central Coast in the second semi-final.

The semis are home and away.

The Wellington Phoenix's bid for the playoffs ended with their 2-nil loss to Melbourne at the weekend.
