Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Melbourne City FC get us underway at AAMI Park.
  • 5' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 10' Melbourne City FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Perth Glory FC that had 213 games and scored 286 goals.
  • 20' Jake Brimmer has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Warren Joyce will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 30' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Scott Jamieson.
  • 35' 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 Kearyn Baccus suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' A moment of madness from Harrison Delbridge on 37 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Melbourne City FC will be frustrated.
  • 41' Rostyn Griffiths is having his name booked by the referee on 41.
  • 46' The Melbourne City FC bench stirs into life. Nathaniel Atkinson is withdrawn and Luke Brattan gets his opportunity.
  • 51' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 56' The travelling Perth Glory FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 61' A tactical swap from Melbourne City FC — Riley McGree on, Florin Berenguer off on 61 minutes.
  • 66' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alex Grant, as he is very good at scoring at AAMI Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 69' Fresh legs for Perth Glory FC! Scott Neville comes on to replace Ivan Franjic.
  • 73' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Kearyn Baccus.
  • 74' Brendon Santalab is replacing Joel Chianese for the Perth Glory FC side.
  • 77' The supporters are chanting for Iacopo La Rocca. He replaces Rostyn Griffiths on 77 minute.
  • 82' Curtis Good, a Australia , has 2 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 87' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 90' Brendon Santalab catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 90.
  • 90' Time for substitution for Perth Glory FC. Diego Castro is replaced by Jake Brimmer.
