Fellow undefeated matches kept City in second place during the time, until further losses to toppers Sydney FC and Western United brought City down to third place, and winning only one of their last five regular season matches to finish 3rd and lose the elimination-final to Melbourne Victory 4–1 on penalties after a 3–3 draw.
