Canberra United 3, Sydney FC 2 (recap / highlights)

It was a barnburner at McKellar Park as Canberra United fell behind twice, overcoming the difference and eventually stealing a late-winner for a 3-2 victory. Down 2-1 in the 78th minute, Toni Pressley scored her first W-League goal, knocking it in on a corner kick to draw her team level late. That goal setup Michelle Heyman’s second goal of the match, an 85th-minute game winner, giving United all three points.

Sydney scored both of their goals from the spot, the first after Lisa DeVanna drew a penalty against her former Orlando teammate, Pressley.

Melbourne City FC 5, Newcastle Jets 2 (recap / highlights)

Down 2-1 after two goals in four minutes by Katie Stengel (Boston Breakers), Steph Catley took matters into her own hands and setup back-to-back City goals, including a waist-high 54th-minute volley goal from Jessica Fishlock (Seattle Reign FC). Larissa Crummer (Seattle Reign FC) scored a goal on both sides of the half, with Kyah Simon scoring the game’s opening goal and Fishlock adding another golazo late in the match. Alanna Kennedy earned her third-straight start and played all 90 minutes.

Steph Catley has been my player of the match. Enormous engine to get up and down the pitch and puts in a fantastic delivery almost every time. #MCYvNEW #wleague — Ann Odong 🌈 (@AnnOdong) November 12, 2017

Adelaide United 3, Perth Glory 1 (recap / highlights)

Makenzy Doniak (North Carolina Courage) led Adelaide to its first win of the season, picking up her first professional hat trick en route to a 3-1 win. Coming into the match with five goals in her first two games, Rachel Hill didn’t get credit in the box score but her play resulted in Perth’s lone goal. In the 50th minute, Hill sent a low cross into the box that was misplayed and booted in for an own goal by Adelaide captain Emma Checker.

Despite the loss, Perth remains atop the league standings after three matches.
