Dumont didn’t skip a beat

Casey Dumont was Melbourne Victory’s superstar from start to finish today. In the last 30 seconds of the match, a volley from Sam Staab came flying dangerously across the goal - but Dumont was there to save the day.

It was the story of the game, with the keeper making a number of saves against the sting of the Wanderers' attack. Dumont denied a stellar strike from Kyra Cooney-Cross, lunging to the left to save the shot. Only minutes earlier, the 27-year-old secured a dangerously dipping ball that deflected off Amy Harrison’s attempt on goal.  

The keeper was even able to catch Sam Staab’s iconic long-range throw towards the end of the first half. Dumont did well to keep a clean sheet in the first half, and her 94th minute save secured the draw for her side in the last play of the match.

Victory will likely rely on Dumont again next week when they play cross-town rivals Melbourne City.
