Victory beat APIA 1-0 in the Australian cup last night at Leichhardt. It was a great game, however there were plenty of missed opportunities.
Here are the highlights -

EPL is back, and so are the Gunners!
In the first game of the 26/27 season, Arsenal have defeated a willing Coventry side 3-0.
Arsenal began their Premier League title defense with a convincing victory against newly promoted Coventry City at Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta ended the club's 22-year wait for a league title last season - and with a faultless display against Frank Lampard's Sky Blues in their opener, his team reminded the rest of the league why they are favourites to retain the crown.
First-half goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka put the reigning champions firmly in control, and captain Martin Odegaard added a third soon after the restart to seal a comfortable win on the opening day of the campaign.

And it's taken just the 2nd game of the new season to bring out a HUGE upset, where promoted side Hull City have kept Manchester United scoreless......
Hull City stunned Manchester United on a dream return to the Premier League after nine years away with a first ever top-flight win against their shell-shocked visitors.
United came into the season high on confidence after their end to the 2025-26 campaign under Michael Carrick, where they finished third to qualify for the Champions League, and some new summer signings.
But it was Sergej Jakirovic's Tigers - promoted through the play-offs last season - who impressed on their home turf with two defenders on the scoresheet.
Semi Ajayi gave them the lead when he lashed in after Oli McBurnie's initial effort was tipped on to the post by United keeper Senne Lammens.
And fellow defender and club-record signing Nobel Mendy scored on his debut when he headed in from Regan Slater's free-kick to seal a superb success in their first Premier League game since a 7-1 home loss by Tottenham in May 2017.
Tigers keeper Konstantinos Tzolakis was not as busy as he might have expected, but made five saves, including one to stop a Bryan Mbeumo effort late on.
