Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Melbourne Victory FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
