Brisbane Roar defeats Melbourne Victory in A-League Women

Brisbane Roar ended Melbourne Victory’s unbeaten start to the season with a victory at Gioca Stadium. Two goals scored late in the first half, including a finish by Murphy Agnew and a header from Maja Markovski, secured the win for the home side.

Melbourne Victory entered the match following wins against Western Sydney Wanderers and Newcastle Jets, as well as a draw with Wellington Phoenix. The Victory squad faced challenges due to the absence of goalkeeper Courtney Newbon, who is sidelined with a leg injury, leading to a first start for Ayana Aoyagi.
