Kai Trewin scored the first goal for Melbourne Victory on an own goal in the 28th minute, then Nicholas D’Agostino added another in the 32nd minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Brisbane Roar couldn’t manage to score, and Melbourne Victory took the shutout win. Melbourne Victory is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches, while perth Glory sits at 10th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-1 loss against Western United. Dylan Wenzel-Halls scored the first goal for Western United in the 78th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Perth Glory was frustrated by Western United’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Western United ended the match with the shutout victory. Perth Glory looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
