Melbourne Victory

Melbourne Victory have claimed all three points in a massive Derby win on Monday afternoon, downing crosstown rivals Melbourne City 2-0.

A win against Canberra in Round 18 will create an even larger buffer, and go a long way to cementing Victory’s Finals spot. The home side take all three points and a massive shot of confidence into a huge game against Canberra United on Saturday, in which another three points will go a long way for Victory’s finals hopes. Victory were forced to settle into the game and show their defensive resoluteness throughout the mid-stages of the second half, not allowing themselves to succumb to heightened City pressure.
