    Auckland FC may be heading into the biggest match in the club's short history, but there's only been one change to their usual routine

    Auckland FC may be heading into the biggest match in the club's short history, but there's only been one change to their usual routine


    The Black Knights have a one-goal advantage before tomorrow's return leg of the A-League semifinal against the Melbourne Victory at Mt Smart.

    Auckland coach Steve Corica says they've been prepping as usual, apart from practising penalties - something they've NEVER had to execute in any game this season.



    The Melbourne Victory have been awarded the most penalties this A-League season - with FIVE.
