Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Melbourne City FC get us underway at AAMI Park.
  • 5' It looks surprising Melbourne City FC does not make any changes. Dane Ingham has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Charles M'Mombwa has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 18' Melbourne City FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 18.
  • 23' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 28' Nathaniel Atkinson has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 212 appearances.
  • 33' 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 Aleksandar Susnjar suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Daniel Wilmering catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 35.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 45' Eli Adams needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 5 Yellow cards this season.
  • 46' Another substitution for Melbourne City FC to replace Kavian Rahmani by Harry Politidis on 46 minute.
  • 51' It’s a booking for Melbourne City FC player. Steven Ugarkovic gets a card.
  • 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 57' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mathew Leckie on 57.
  • 62' With 0 assists to his name this season, Callum Timmins is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Melbourne City FC.
  • 67' Melbourne City 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.
  • 69' Newcastle United Jets FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Lachlan Rose on 69.
  • 74' Clayton Taylor has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 76' The crowd applauds Marco Tilio as he leaves the pitch. Medin Memeti steps in for Melbourne City FC.
  • 81' Over 81 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 85' A tactical swap from Newcastle United Jets FC — Justin Vidic on, Eli Adams off on 85 minutes.
  • 90' The whistle greets Clayton Taylor as he departs to be replaced by Dane Ingham.
  • Another three points for Newcastle United Jets FC.
