A deflection off John Koutroumbis from Kosta Barbarouses' initial shot opened the scoring for Victory, and despite claims for offside, the goal stood.

Lawrence Thomas had an exceptional game with a superhuman double save in the first-half and was ultimately impassable in a Man of the Match performance. 

Newcastle Jets 

Glen Moss (GK) - 6.5

Parried away a George effort. Made a few more good saves.

John Koutroumbis - 5.5

Unfortunate deflection into the back of the net.

Nigel Boogaard - 7

Better towards the end of the first-half, as there was terrible defending for the first goal. Made vital clearances in the second and recovered well.

Nikolai Topor-Stanley - 6

Great blocks and clearances to keep Victory at a one goal lead.

Daniel Georgievski - 4

Didn't have the best game.
