Auckland City will host Team Wellington in the final of the ASB Premiership next weekend after the minor premiers thumped Waitakere 4-1 in yesterday's semifinal second leg.
Waitakere were humbled 8-1 on aggregate over the two legs by a clearly superior Auckland side and have now surrendered their dominance in the competition they had won for the past four years.
The defeat also means Wellington will replace Waitakere in next year's OFC Champions League, after a 1-0 (3-1 aggregate) win on Saturday over Hawkes Bay in the other semifinal.
Auckland ended any Waitakere dreams about "mission impossible" in the 16th minute when Andrew Milne made a clever overlapping run on the left wing before slotting home to increase the aggregate score to 5-0.
Powerful midfielder Chris Bale made it 2-0 only 10 minutes later with a quick run down the right byline before flicking the ball over Waitakere keeper Danny Robinson.
