Notes

  1. The APL awarded Sydney FC a 3–0 win as a result of Canberra United making an illegal fourth substitution, after the match had originally finished 2–1 for Canberra.[43] A few weeks later, the decision was overturned following an appeal by Canberra.[44]
  2. The APL awarded Western United a 3–0 win as a result of Brisbane Roar fielding an ineligible player, after the match had originally finished 2–0 for Brisbane.[45]
