Victory all but secured their place in finals football for a third straight season on Thursday night; downing Western Sydney Wanderers 1-0 thanks to a 43rd-minute tap-in from New Zealand International Annalie Longo following a Kyra Cooney-Cross free-kick and Melina Ayres knockdown.
Already sitting on a knife-edge, the result dealt a hammer blow to the Wanderers’ faint hopes of playing finals: Dean Heffernan’s side now six points adrift of the playoffs with just two games remaining on their ledger.
Conversely, the three points earned at AAMI Park, which hosted the fixture behind-closed-doors after a last-minute switch from Lakeside Stadium, means that Victory now sit third on the W-League table and five points clear of fifth-placed Canberra United with three games remaining.
