Round 4 - Victoria Utd (1.1)
Victoria Utd was predicted by many to be relegated from the A-League immediately after returning. After consecutive losses in the first two rounds, Victoria got their campaign under way with a win against Narre Heart on Sunday. Round 4 was going to be a challenge, and the result would indicate how they are playing and how their season is going to pan out. Memphistopheles FC was the challenger.
Nate Neil got Victoria underway in the opening minutes of the match after a good pass in by Sean Southall. Moments later the same man set up David Escalada, scoring his 50th goal for the Vics since coming to the club back in season 18. A half time the score line read: 2 – 0. It was a score line that was slightly harsh on Memph, as it was a fairly even first half.
Vinnie "The Gun" Young scored his second goal of the season, finishing off a poor through ball. Sean Southall twisted his knee after 70 minutes had being played. He had played well up until this unfortunate incident; Memph might have thought that this could be the break that they were waiting for. They couldn’t have been more wrong, Nate Neil kicked two goals shortly later, finishing off his hat-trick and magnificent individual performance. Michael Scarrott scored a consolation goal just moments later, but the match was already gone.
Accuracy and Nate Neil won Victoria Utd the match, and they will need to pull out more performances like this if they are to survive the cut this season. Victoria faces an uphill challenge next week against Guards FC on Friday. They played very well in round four, and they are certainly worthy deservers of TM Australia’s TEAM of the ROUND.
