  • 25' It looks surprising Melbourne City FC does not make any changes. Jake Hollmann has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 32' Melbourne City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

  • 42' Melbourne City FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Macarthur FC's shape.
  • 47' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 69' Macarthur FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Matthew Millar is hanging Jed Drew on the field on 69 minute.
  • 71' That is a card for Melbourne City FC. Hamza Sakhi will be fuming at that decision.
