Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Perth Glory FC and Melbourne City FC has kicked off!
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 20' 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 Ben Garuccio suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' It looks surprising Perth Glory FC does not make any changes. Ciaran Bramwell has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' Tom Glover has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 31' GOAL! Chris Ikonomidis fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 35' Andy Keogh picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 36' GOAL! Luke Bodnar scores on 36.
  • 36' Bruno Fornaroli has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 36.
  • 41' Florin Berenguer is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Melbourne City FC so far.
  • 44' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Neil Kilkenny.
  • 46' Jamie MacLaren does the damage! The net is bulging and Melbourne City FC surge ahead!
  • 47' GOAL! Jamie MacLaren fires home to make it 1-3!
  • 52' Supporters expect more eagerness from Andy Keogh, as he is very good at scoring at HBF Park with 5 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 57' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 61' The referee calls foul for Scott Jamieson. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 65' The Melbourne City FC bench stirs into life. Florin Berenguer is withdrawn and Adrian Luna gets his opportunity.
  • 66' Another change for Perth Glory FC made on 66 minute. Bruno Fornaroli leaves to be changed by Joel Chianese.
  • 68' GOAL! Jamie MacLaren fires home to make it 1-4!
  • 69' It is a substitution in Perth Glory FC team. Kosuke Ota is replaced by Riley Warland on 69 minute.
  • 74' Perth Glory FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Melbourne City FC backline.
  • 77' The supporters are chanting for Nuno Reis. He replaces Rostyn Griffiths on 77 minute.
  • 79' Ciaran Bramwell has so much to prove this time. He replaces Andy Keogh on 79 minute.
  • 84' 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.
  • 87' A change in the Melbourne City FC ranks — Marco Tilio exits the field as Stefan Colakovski enters on 87.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-3 draw is a fair result on the day.
