Our women’s first team won 1-0 against A League All Stars Women in a post-season friendly at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Friday, Alessia Russo heading in the only goal of the game from a Vivienne Lia cross late in the first half.
We were on top for much of the opening period and came closest to scoring when Victoria Pelova won the ball in a dangerous area by pressing Tameka Yallop, before Alessia Russo struck it wide. It wouldn’t have counted though as the referee blew for a foul.
The All Stars had their first sight of goal in the 28th minute as Elise Kellond-Knight’s corner came out to Yallop, who fired over the bar.
