Melbourne Victory`s 2-1 win over Macarthur FC secures their finals spot, showcasing young talent and strategic play.

Melbourne Victory clinched a vital 2-1 away victory against Macarthur FC at Campbelltown Stadium, effectively ending Macarthur`s hopes of reaching the finals. The match showcased the talents of Socceroo stars Ryan Teague and Kasey Bos, who scored in the first half, contributing to a youthful Victory squad featuring ten players aged 23 or under, including promising talents like Nishan Velupillay and goalkeeper Daniel Graskoski.

Macarthur FC struggled to maintain momentum throughout the match, falling behind 2-0 before managing to pull one goal back. Their season-long issue of failing to convert leads into wins was evident, as they recorded only seven victories from 13 matches where they scored first, alongside a league-high five losses.

Round 28 also saw Brisbane Roar defeat Wellington Phoenix 1-0, Western Sydney Wanderers edge Newcastle Jets 1-0, and a goalless draw between Melbourne City and Adelaide United. Auckland City triumphed over Perth Glory 1-0, while Western United narrowly defeated Sydney FC 1-0. Despite the setback, Sydney FC`s superior goal difference keeps them in contention for the finals, needing only a draw in the final round to secure their spot. This round was notably low-scoring, with just seven goals across six matches, the fewest since the league expanded to 13 teams.
