What a result!
Whether you love or hate them, as a neutral Australian football fan you can’t help but come away enthralled from what was an absorbing contest at AAMI Park.
A match that deserved more than the sub-par 9,701 turnout, thrilling to the very end and an excellent advertisement for the Asian Champions League.
Melbourne Victory have not progressed past the group stage in four attempts. Off to a winning start, can they finally crack the duck?
