Draw a fair result

Victory’s early dominance saw them take the lead after the 8th minute when Haley Hanson slotted the ball into the net, assisted by captain Natasha Dowie. The Melbournians enjoyed most of the possession in the first half, pressing their opponents and creating a few good chances.

Western Sydney made it hard for themselves in the first 30 minutes, with Lynn Williams and Kristin Hamilton not receiving enough quality service from the midfield. But as the game went on Western Sydney were able to turn it around.

Both teams had a number of opportunities to claim all three points in the second half, with the woodwork being hit on both ends of the pitch. Once the Wanderers started pushing forward and creating opportunities, the Victory defended well to extinguish a multitude of red and black attacking chances.
