The Phoenix came to AAMI Park with a game plan, and it seemed to be working when Roy Krishna capitalised on a Michael Jakobsen error to give the visitors the lead at the break.

Arzani was introduced early in the second half and eventually went on to assist McCormack's brace to help City record their first win in four matches.

Replaced early in the second half by Daniel Arzani.

Bart Schenkeveld - 5

Read the game well. Defended well when called upon.

The captain made a rare error which allowed Krishna to score the opener.
