• Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Melbourne Victory FC gets underway.
  • 5' Jack Warshawsky has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 26 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Melbourne Victory FC winning 50% of all matches.
  • 20' The travelling Melbourne Victory FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Louis D'Arrigo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Western Sydney Wanderers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' It looks surprising Western Sydney Wanderers FC does not make any changes. Sebastian Esposito has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Melbourne Victory FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 45' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 50' Nikolaos Vergos needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 55' Western Sydney Wanderers FC is showing some good football. However, Western Sydney Wanderers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 60' Supporters expect more eagerness from Matthew Grimaldi, as he is very good at scoring at CommBank Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 65' Time for substitution for Melbourne Victory FC. Louis D'Arrigo is replaced by Jordi Valadon.
  • 70' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 71' GOAL! Clarismario scores on 71.
  • 76' Jai Rose has so much to prove this time. He replaces Bozhidar Kraev on 76 minute.
  • 81' The whistle greets Joshua Brillante as he departs to be replaced by Awan Lual.
  • 82' Melbourne Victory FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mata is hanging Clarismario on the field on 82 minute.
