Melbourne Victory, playing with ten men, drew 1-1 with Central Coast Mariners after Jordi Valadon's goal.

Melbourne Victory drew 1-1 with Central Coast Mariners at AAMI Park, with Jordi Valadon's goal snatching a point for the ten-man side.

Victory right-back Harry Shillington was sent off in the 13th minute after a VAR review. Referee Jonathan Barreiro showed the 21-year-old a straight red card for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity on fast break from Ali Auglah. From the subsequent free kick, Auglah forced Jack Duncan into a save.

Central Coast broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute when Oli Lavale fired home a half-volley after Auglah's long ball bounced up perfectly. Victory equalised six minutes later when Valadon struck from just outside the box past Andrew Redmayne into the top corner. After a sideline wrestle between Lavale and Victory defender Philipp Ziereis, both players were booked and coaches from both teams intervened to prevent further trouble.

Victory remain without a win under new coach Giovanni Savarese.
