Same place, same result for Antonis

Victory faced off against the Jets on Saturday night in the Grand Final rematch at McDonald Jones Stadium.

Just like last season’s decider, Kevin Muscat’s men ran out 1-0 winners, with Terry Antonis popping up yet again from outside the area to net the winner.

In one of Real Madrid's most outstanding performances at the Camp Nou, Los Blancos beat FC Barcelona 3-1 in the Spanish Supercup. Real were leading 2-1 after Cristiano Ronaldo's 80th minute goal, but just before the final whistle, we sealed the win with this beautiful Marco Asensio strike.

Against Glory in round 2 it was Antonis who unleashed a venomous strike with his left foot from just outside the area to rattle both posts before it went in and the 24-year-old’s strike was almost a mirror image in Newcastle.

Like the goal against Glory, Antonis received the ball from Keisuke Honda just outside the area before shifting the ball onto his left foot and unleashing the ball into the bottom right corner.

The goals were very similar except for the fact that the strike on Saturday didn’t hit the post before going in and probably more crucially, it helped the Victory to three points this time around.

One of the greatest saves in A-League history

Wow. Just wow from Jamie Young.

The English shotstopper, who was named as the league’s most outstanding goalkeeper last season, produced arguably one of the greatest saves in A-League history against Perth on Saturday.

Roar were under the pump early on in the west, as Jason Davidson picked out Andy Keogh with a pinpoint cross although Young was equal to the Irishman’s first header – destined for the top corner – before getting up quickly to deny his second header by tipping it onto the crossbar.

We’ve seen some cracking saves down the years, but this is definitely up there due to the shear athleticism to get up as quickly as he did and the distance Keogh was from the goal.

It will take some taking to beat that this season, and if Young keeps this up he will be claiming keeper of the year yet again, but he needs more help from his defenders to claim a few more clean sheets.

...And one of the worst...

Wow. Just wow from Ben Kennedy.

A day later in Gosford, we saw the nadir of goalkeeping from Ben Kennedy, which was similar to the Loris Karius howler for Liverpool in last season’s Champions League final.

Down 2-0 at home to Adelaide and with Craig Goodwin lining up a free-kick from about 25m out, you would think Kennedy would have it covered.

However, Goodwin’s effort somehow slipped through the gloves of the 31-year-old, summing up a dreadful outing for Mike Mulvey’s men.

Even prior to that clanger, Kennedy has been inconsistent, and with a defence already showing cracks, the Mariners may be assessing other goalkeeping options.
