MELBOURNE VICTORY HELD a 2-1 lead over city rivals Melbourne City late into injury-time during today’s A-League derby.
With the clock approaching 99 minutes, City had one last chance draw level from a corner. Goalkeeper Dean Bouzanis headed forward to become an auxiliary attacker, but when the ball fell to him on the edge of the box, he lost his footing and Victory broke in numbers.
Australian midfielder James Troisi raced into the opposing half and had the task of side-footing the ball into an empty net — but he somehow managed to put his effort wide of the mark.
Luckily for him, the final whistle went and Victory earned the bragging rights.
