In the second half, Alex Chidiac extended Victory`s lead in the 54th minute, skillfully guiding the ball through the legs of the Roar goalkeeper after a deflected shot from Holly Furphy. Brisbane`s hopes were dashed when Japanese midfielder Momo Hayashi received a red card for dissent around the 60th minute, leaving the Roar a player down. Melbourne Victory maintained control throughout the second half, with substitutes Ella O`Grady and Rosie Curtis applying constant pressure. O`Grady nearly added a third goal, hitting the post in the 90th minute.
Paige Zois made a heartwarming return from injury, marking her first appearance of the season alongside Jessica Young, much to the crowd`s delight. Brisbane Roar captain Tameka Yallop had an impressive season, finishing as the second all-time top goal scorer in the league and leading her team with five hat tricks. Meanwhile, Melbourne City secured the Premier`s Plate with a commanding 5-1 victory over Perth Glory, solidifying their dominance this season.
