Returned Melbourne Victory star Marco Rojas was on target again on Wednesday afternoon, scoring in a 1-0 behind-closed-doors friendly win against Adelaide United at Coopers Stadium.
Daniel Georgievski and Fahid Ben Khalfallah combined on the left-hand side, with the former making a purposeful push forward.

He teed up the Kiwi who had drifted into the box from the right-flank, getting in behind the Adelaide defence and burying the close-range strike with Euegene Galekovic rendered helpless.
The goal is Rojas’ second since arriving back at Victory a month ago after departing VfB Stuttgart by mutual consent. The first came in last week’s 3-1 friendly win over Sydney FC at AAMI Park, also played behind-closed-doors.
