Victory lose 0-2 with Crocombe in goal. Glory concede 2 very late goals (87th & 89th) to lose 2-0. Glory have really surprised me with how competitive they have been

Victory blow a 2 goal lead to draw 2-2 & Glory get a late penalty to draw 3-3 after leading 0-2 at one stage.

Howler by Acton at 00:57 for the Victory to concede the first

It really sharks me when highlights don't include the foul leading to the penalty.

That’s a beautifully taken goal by Kiwi Messi on what looked a bumpy pitch. Nice to see Crocombe as the starting keeper. Sounds like he made some key saves late on after his earlier bad judgement.

Victory are out after a 3-0 loss this morning. Crocombe with the start, sounds like he pulled off a few good saves for them again.

I thought Sky had picked up the AFC rights but doesn't appear so. So I can't seem an easy way to watch this.
