Melbourne Victory take the three points in their first home win of the season against the Newcastle Jets.
Jenna McCormick – 7
Kept the ball and controlled the game from the back, although gave away possession a few times throughout the game.
Haley Hanson – 7
Great anticipation up front, almost scored from a diving header towards the end of the first half – made space for herself with quick dribbling.
Amy Jackson – 6.5
Had a quiet game for her standards, played a few good balls from the midfield.
Annalie Longo – 6.5
A few mis-passes but created some good opportunities for Melbourne.
Lia Privitelli – 6.5
Had a few strikes at goal but sent one wide and the other straight at the keeper – might have benefitted from making more narrow runs before shooting, played a couple of good crosses into the middle.
Rosie Sutton – 7
Defended well, pressed the Jets attackers and extinguished chances with perfectly timed tackles.
Natasha Dowie – 8.5
Scored the first goal for Melbourne from a header - was strong on the ball and created numerous chances.
