Command Analysis

Perth Glory

Perth Glory did not have the best last season and finished last in the League A standings. In order to start the Cup from the 1/16 finals, the team had to overcome the qualifying round. Among the opponents was Brisbane Roar, with whom there was a goal shootout. Only after the opponent was sent off in the second half, Glory scored three goals and a 4:2 victory was recorded.

Melbourne City FC

Melbourne City had a strong finish to the last season in the national championship and managed to finish in eighth position. However, in the playoffs, in the first match, the "citizens" lost in a penalty shootout to their archrival Melbourne Victory. In preparation for the new season, Melbourne City did not hold official friendly matches.
