Melbourne Victory Women's victory over Newcastle Jets Women's was a testament to their early dominance and quick adaptation to pressure. Scoring three goals within the first half hour highlighted their efficient offensive strategy, which saw 7 shots on target across the match, creating immediate pressure on the opposition's defense. Contrarily, Newcastle's defense struggled initially, failing to close down rapid plays, and this early deficit was pivotal in shaping the match's dynamic.

Newcastle Jets Women showed a remarkable comeback effort with three goals of their own, displaying commendable resilience and improved teamwork after the initial setback. Crucial to their fightback was their ability to maintain composure and capitalize on set-pieces, evidenced by their equal number of corner kicks and crucial timing of goals just before the first half ended. However, their comeback fell short as defensive lapses and failure to defend against quick counterattacks provided Melbourne Victory Women the chance to retake the lead, which they executed effectively just minutes after the Jets equalized.

Disciplinary factors slightly marred the Jets' performance, with two yellow cards compared to Melbourne Victory's one. This indicated a marginally more aggressive approach, which perhaps turned costly, disrupting their rhythm in crucial minutes. Melbourne's tactical discipline was crucial in maintaining their slim lead, as their lower foul and card count suggested a more controlled approach, likely contributing to preserving their lead through strategic defensive discipline. The match was a tactical showcase, where rapid counterattacks and early advantages ultimately secured Melbourne Victory the win, despite an admirable fight from Newcastle.
