Melbourne Victory v Central Coast Mariners 6 – August – 2009
Melbourne Victory v Central Coast Mariners 6 – August – 2009 www.a-league.com.au Mariners punish sluggish Victory Central Coast has taken advantage of a sluggish start from defending champion Melbourne to post a surprise 2-0 win in the Hyundai A-League season opener at Etihad Stadium. The Mariners pinched the points with two goals inside the first 15 minutes to record their first win in Melbourne since 2005, with Matt Simon opening the scoring in the 10th minute and Rody Vargas deflecting in an own goal five minutes later. Melbourne dominated play and possession for much of the rest of the game but could not find an answer with the Mariners’ robust defence getting the job done. It is the first time in the history of the Hyundai A-League that Melbourne has lost its first game of the season but continues somewhat of a hoodoo in season openers for defending champions, with only Sydney in 2006/07 able to win its first game the year after winning the Grand Final. The Mariners’ composed and clinical performance is a strong reminder that one of the Hyundai A-League’s most consistent sides will once again be a force to be reckoned with in 2009/10. Central Coast took the lead with its first real chance of the evening. In the 10th minute, John Hutchison took a free kick from the right and curled it into a bunch of players in the box. The ball rebounded into the path of Simon, who only had to steer it past Glen Moss from short range to make it 1-0. It was the first time in 475 …
@bryanite I think thats all you got is. ‘The bushfires’ Sorry man thats old and you just look like a joke. No Sydney fans back you up.
@hahahaahahahahag
But make MVFC play the WHOLE grand final match against 11-men, they can’t do shit. I don’t count MVFC grand final “wins” in 07 and 09 as pure victory until they win against a full-team, not 12 Vs 10 in MVFC’s favour. Dumb shit, fuck off and die in your bushfires you fucked up pathetic dumb tard piece of shit.
@hahahaahahahahag
You’re in a better position to die, with your bushfires you fucking dumb tard piece of shit. And learn how to use basic english words in their proper contexts as well you fucking dumb shit tard monkey, “do not count THEIR first season”
Oh, and MVFC can do better? All your grand final “wins” have come from 10-men Adelaide Utd. MVFC relies on playing with extra men to win grand finals.
I hope Mariners will finally win the championship. Hutchinson an awesome player

i do not count there first season as a victory because they broke the salary cap(dirty cheats)
that is why the mariners lost the final

if there is oen team you can never wirte of its the freakin’ mariners. Good win for them, horrible game to melbourne and a bad start to the season, hope this wakes the team up a little bti and we come out and attack the roar next week.
Beginning of the season? Economic Crisis? Mariners were written off before the season started? I thght it was good it hit 10,000 let alone 18,000!
