Ikonomidis stretched the Sydney defence before crossing for Brillante to fire past Redmayne and send the travelling Victory fans into a frenzy. Mak grabbed the club's first goal at the new ground and he and English import Joe Lolley, who looked lively cutting in from the right, both pointed to a more positive future. "I thought both of them were exciting to watch and there was a good end-product from Robbie," Corica said. Sydney coach Steve Corica was left to rue a missed opportunity as Victory wrecked the Sky Blues' return to Moore Park. "He came on and made the impact we know he can and that will give him belief not just in his ability but in his body." Victory conceded first to a goal from Sydney debutant Robert Mak but when Nick D'Agostino levelled in the 30th minute they clicked into life.
