Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Melbourne Victory FC kicks off things out of here…
5' Macarthur FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Melbourne Victory FC backline.
10' 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 Daniel Arzani suffering a number of foals already.
15' Melbourne Victory FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
20' It looks like no one’s ball. Melbourne Victory FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
30' Macarthur FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
35' With 0 assists to his name this season, Filip Kurto is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Melbourne Victory FC.
40' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Macarthur FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
45' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Macarthur FC and Melbourne Victory FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
50' Melbourne Victory FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
55' It looks surprising Macarthur FC does not make any changes. Tomislav Uskok has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
57' The referee has no hesitation. Jake Brimmer is booked for Melbourne Victory FC — Yellow card on 57.
58' Melbourne Victory FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ben Folami is hanging Bruno Fornaroli on the field on 58 minute.
62' Macarthur FC ring the changes. Jed Drew has done his job and it is now time for Al Hassan Toure to step up.
67' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
72' Macarthur FC ring the changes. Daniel Arzani has done his job and it is now time for Anthony Carter to step up.
73' The Macarthur FC manager makes a substitution. Ulises Davila departs to be replaced by Craig Noone.
74' Matthew Bozinovski is replacing Jason Geria for the Melbourne Victory FC side.
77' The Macarthur FC manager makes a substitution. Kearyn Baccus departs to be replaced by Jerry Skotadis.

84' Melbourne Victory FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Ben Folami on 84.
