Thursday saw fans vote on the 2012-2016 A-League era.
Besart Berisha's clash with Pascal Bosschaart beat Berisha's last-minute penalty in the 2012 Grand Final. Alessandro Del Piero's airport arrival at Sydney airport was knocked-out by Del Piero's scoring an epic free-kick on his home debut against Newcastle. Western Sydney's 1-0 win over Central Coast in 2013 surprisingly scraped through against Melbourne Victory's 2015 Grand Final victory over Sydney FC. Finally, Adelaide United's 2016 Grand Final victory managed to knock out the incredible 5-4 match between Wanderers and Brisbane in the 2016 semi-final.
