Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. Western Sydney Wanderers FC get us underway at CommBank Stadium.
5' 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 Clarismario suffering a number of foals already.
10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
15' Jordan Holmes is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Melbourne Victory FC tonight.
20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
25' Brandon Borrello is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Western Sydney Wanderers FC so far.
30' Western Sydney Wanderers FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
35' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
40' Melbourne Victory FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
45' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Louis D'Arrigo, as he is very good at scoring at CommBank Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
60' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Western Sydney Wanderers FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
65' A tactical swap from Melbourne Victory FC — Jordi Valadon on, Louis D'Arrigo off on 65 minutes.
70' The 22-year-old Dylan Scicluna has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
71' What composure from Clarismario! The Brazil international strokes it home. 0-1.
76' A tactical swap from Western Sydney Wanderers FC — Jai Rose on, Bozhidar Kraev off on 76 minutes.
81' Western Sydney Wanderers FC ring the changes. Joshua Brillante has done his job and it is now time for Awan Lual to step up.
82' Mata gets the nod from Melbourne Victory FC. He replaces Clarismario and will look to change the dynamic.
87' Charles Nduka has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 212 appearances.

90' Brendan Hamill is replacing Sebastian Esposito for the Melbourne Victory FC side.
