Goals from Al Hasan Toure and Jonathan Aspropotamitis gave a two-goal lead to Macarthure before Garang Kuol netted a brace to level the score for Central Coast. And then, just when it looked like the match was heading to a draw, Jed Drew scored the winner in the fifth minute of injury time to help Macarthur take all three points. The Bells find themselves in a position to qualify for the finals series for the second time in three seasons. Melbourne Victory, on the other hand, have already suffered three defeats this season, one fewer than they had in the entirety of last A-League campaign, when they finished second in the table.  Â

Nicholas D’Agostino is expected to lead the line, with Folami, Brimmer and Konstandopoulos in support.Â
