The A-League playoffs were confirmed on Sunday night after a thrilling final day of the regular season in which 16 goals were scored in two matches.
Victory defeated Central Coast Mariners to confirm their second place finish thanks to Besart Berisha's 100th A-League career goal while Brisbane Roar took third ahead of Melbourne City following their 4-3 win over Wellington Phoenix.
The Roar and City retained their top-four spots to earn home elimination finals at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night and AAMI Park on Sunday night respectively.
Liam Reddy of Perth Glory decided he'd play his way out of his area late on in their clash with Melbourne City.
City needed to win to go back above Brisbane into third and all but secure a qualification berth in to next year's Asian Champions League.
Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory are waiting to join in from the second weekend of the finals, with the Sky Blues to play the lowest-ranked victor from the elimination finals and Victory the other victor.

Video evidence later disputed that Dao was acting aggressively. "There are no excuses", Alderman Michael Zalewski said. The request also includes the personnel files of the Aviation Department officers that pulled Dao from the plane.
Meanwhile, the sixth-placed Wanderers will attempt to kill off the Roar in enemy territory almost a year after their epic 5-4 extra-time semi-final win at Pirtek Stadium.
The two teams produced one of the matches of the season, Glory claiming a 5-4 win, but it was Reddy's attempt to take on the entire Melbourne City team that has everyone talking.
However, if Brisbane wins on Friday it will take on Victory in the semi-finals, with the victor of the City-Glory clash to play Sydney.
City is 7-3-3 at AAMI Park this year, the Glory 2-6-5 away from nib.
With fourth-placed Brisbane Roar playing just a couple of hours before this one, both sides will know exactly what they need to do by the time they start in the west.
