Max Caputo`s two goals led Melbourne City to a 2-0 victory over Macarthur, boosting their A-League standings.

Melbourne City showcased their dominance with a convincing 2-0 win over Macarthur at AAMI Park. Max Caputo was the star of the match, netting both goals, marking his first goals of the season. The opening goal came in the 33rd minute, thanks to a brilliant assist from Kavian Rahmani, who delivered a precise pass that allowed Caputo to finish from a challenging angle.

The second goal was secured from the penalty spot in the 74th minute after a VAR review confirmed a handball in the box. Caputo confidently converted the penalty, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. This victory extended City’s unbeaten streak to four matches and propelled them to second place in the A-League Men’s table.

The midfield partnership of Mathew Leckie and Kai Trewin was instrumental in controlling the game, while Germán Ferreyra provided a solid defensive presence. Notably, Yonatan Cohen and Steven Ugarkovic made their returns from injury in the 75th minute, adding depth to the squad. Melbourne City will next face Newcastle Jets on Wednesday, just before the international break.
