Last Time Out:
Melbourne City scored in the seventh minute of injury time to secure a 2-1 win over the Jets at Maitland Sports Ground. Melina Ayres, then of Newcastle, opened the scoring in the 47th minute with a brilliant goal, beating three City defenders before playing a one-two with Kelli Brown, smashing the ball into the back of the net. Keane equalised for City in the 72nd minute, before Danielle Turner scored the winner deep into stoppage time.
Key Match-Up:
Tamar Levin vs Melina Ayres
Levin has put in several eye-catching performances for the Club across her first three games, impressing with her ability to take on defenders, as well as her knack of creating a shot for herself and others, as showcased in her performance in the F3 derby, where she created two chances as well as scoring one herself.
On the other hand, Jets fans know all to well how dangerous Melina Ayres can be. She scored eight times in 20 appearances for the Jets last season, and she has carried that form into this season with City. Ayres already has five goals in five games between the Ninja A-League and AFC Women’s Champions League.
