Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Western United FC gets underway.
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - It looks surprising Melbourne City FC does not make any changes. Besart Berisha has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 25' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Alessandro Diamanti, as he is very good at scoring at Bankwest Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 30' - It’s high time Marko Rudan made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 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 Max Burgess suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' - Melbourne City FC is showing some good football. However, Melbourne City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 45' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Western United FC winning 100% of all matches.

  • 55' - Western United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 57' - Melbourne City FC player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 62' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 62 minutes.
  • 67' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tom Glover made 80 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 68' - Jamie MacLaren puts Melbourne City FC on the lead.
  • 68' - Time for substitution for Melbourne City FC. Florin Bérenguer is replaced by Connor Metcalfe.
  • 73' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
