Scott Neville gave Glory a shock lead in the opening moments, but Victory slowly took control and scored two goals courtesy of James Troisi and Mark Milligan.

 

Diego Castro looked like he had given his side a point with a goal late in proceedings, but a delicious ball by George gave Barbarouses the chance to win the game and he delivered.

MELBOURNE VICTORY

 

Matt Acton - 6

 

Conceded his first goal in the A-League in the first 90 seconds and was caught out of position for Castro's goal.

 

Jason Geria - 6

 

Was solid at right back and kept Andy Keogh quiet for a majority of the match.

 

Mark Milligan - 8

 

Cost his side the match with an own goal in their last outing, but put Victory in the lead early in the second. Had the most touches in the match by far

 

Dino Djulbic - 7

 

Playing against his former club for the first time since leaving at the end of the season, and was very impressive. Replaced by Broxham.
