Newcastle v Mariners
Smurfs v Wanderers

Traore gets a second yellow and he's off.

Bulls still up 1-0 after 62 min

[mack]

95th minute own goal, 1-1 full time lol.

[sonar]

Wow...Victory get out of jail with an extra time own goal......1-1 v Bulls...

[Edinburgh]

Victory equalise with a few seconds left. 1-1.

[BoyFromTheWest]

Was just going to say that the bulls going top would have been a statement about the quality of the rest of the comp but Vuk scored, finally, in the last 30 secs.

Bulls are sold in defence and week organised but not, for me, that impressive. Davila is a cut above and Kurto keeps them in it.

Vuk are pretty ordinary in front of goal...

Yep.

Kurto saved their butts a few times in the first half.

[Paul01]

Great result if we win on Saturday. 

Traore 2 yellows. He can't take a trick in a Melbourne Victory shirt.

 

[BoyFromTheWest]

Huge 'if' and in typical style, when we could roll on and take advantage of the draw, we will lose and stay in the pack.

[Paul01]

Nix vs Heartle$$ much better game than last night.

being plsyed in Auckland 

[Paul01]

And Heartle$$ are down by a goal. Heartle$$ need to score now

[BoyFromTheWest]

Nix looking good and 1:0 up. Want sure how they'd go without Zawada. Probably have 3 if he was upfront.

Paulson continues to pull out the saves. City slow to the ball and can't supply McLaren.

[Paul01]

Heartle$$ get a pen, saved by Paulsen from McLaren 

[mack]

Jets dominate the entire first half against the Mariners.. and fall asleep in the last minute and let the Mariners score. 

[Upthehill]

Trent Buhagiar and missing sitters inside the 6 yard box. Name a more iconic duo

[nmh94]

A strong second half here from the Roar. Jay O'Shea's involved in both goals. They will be very tough come Friday night 

[BoyFromTheWest]

Always tough at home and Perth ordinary on the road. It will be a test, especially if hot and humid.

[pseudonym]

The surface doesn't look good

Considering Borello got injured yesterday, it might be wise not to play Ninkovic next week

Save him for the Melbourne Victory game

[MartinTyler]

Yet another disgraceful playing surface.

Lachie Wales is one of the more frustrating players. Find himself in good positions but can't finish unless it is a scrappy goal line scramble. He has opportunity and just can't put the ball in the net.  Like so many young players didn't seem to have good close in ball skills and/or final ball.

Ruka did little but got nothing in terms of service. Western are going to really struggle this season - no-one can score.
