- 17' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jake Hollmann is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Melbourne City FC.

- 27' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Macarthur FC and Melbourne City FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 31' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jordan Bos.
- 36' Melbourne City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
