Bruce Djite's second-half brace, including a stunning long-range strike helped Adelaide United through to the A-League grand final with a 4-1 win over Melbourne City at Coopers Stadium.


A Bruce Djite brace has delivered Adelaide United a 4-1 semi-final triumph against Melbourne City and a spot in the A-League decider.

 

Djite scored a screamer and converted a penalty in a game-breaking display in Friday night's semi-final at Coopers Stadium.

 

Melbourne's Nick Fitzgerald gave the visitors some hope with a 72nd-minute reply before Adelaide's Dylan McGowan and Pablo Sanchez sealed the result with late goals.

 

The Reds will host a 1 May Adelaide Oval grand final against the winner of Sunday's semi-final between Western Sydney and Brisbane.

 

Djite rewarded Adelaide for sustained dominance of City, who fell short of a first grand final appearance.

 

The powerful attacker scored twice in 12 minutes to send the Reds into their second A-League grand final - the other, a loss in 2007.
