Events
Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! Macarthur FC welcome Melbourne Victory FC for this crunch clash at Campbelltown Stadium.
- 5' Melbourne Victory FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 7' Poor challenge from Jonathan Aspropotamitis. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 12' What composure from Matthew Millar! The Australia international strokes it home. 1-0.
- 17' Tomislav Uskok needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 30 Yellow cards this season.
- 22' Melbourne Victory FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 27' Franco Lino has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 26 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 32' 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 Filip Kurto suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bruno Fornaroli, as he is very good at scoring at Campbelltown Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 42' Damien da Silva has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 42.
- 43' Ulises Davila was booked on 43.
- 46' Jake Brimmer has so much to prove this time. He replaces Fabian Monge on 46 minute.

- 74' It is a substitution in Macarthur FC team. Matthew Millar is replaced by Ali Auglah on 74 minute.
