| Allsopp farewells the Victory faithful |
It must be said the score line flatters the visiting side.
After dominating much of the first half, Victory took the
lead after twenty three minutes through Rojas. A great through ball by Flores
found Archie Thompson in the penalty box who unselfishly squared off the ball to
Rojas who was on hand for the easy tap in.
Seven minutes before the break the home side doubled its advantage as Finkler and Flores played a great one two before Flores found the back of the net with the outside of his foot.

Immediately after half-time Melbourne scored a third, a copy
of the first goal as Thompson used his speed and awareness to find Rojas who
for the second time on the night who had the simple task of tapping into an open
goal.
Wellington however managed to scare the hosts through Jeremy Brockie, who found the back of the net with two magnificent strikes. The first a contender for goal of the year whilst the second was a well taken free-kick.

Along with the three points Victory are off the bottom of
the table, replacing them….. city rivals Melbourne Heart.
