Melbourne Victory v Perth Glory 1st Half 16-January-2010 theworldgame.sbs.com.au Victory in Kruse control Melbourne Victory moved back into second on the A-League table by thrashing Perth 6-2 at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night, where Robbie Kruse snared a first-half hat-trick. Kruse’s treble came in a 28-minute span during a barnstorming first half by Victory, who scored inside five minutes thanks to Archie Thompson’s trademark speed and finishing. Up 4-1 at half-time, Victory added two more late goals through a penalty conversion by skipper Kevin Muscat and Carlos Hernandez’s deserved finish 10 minutes before fulltime. Melbourne’s goal-fest was only their second six-goal haul in A-League history. The first came when they trounced Adelaide 6-0 in the 2007 Grand Final, when Thompson scored the club’s last hat-trick. Glory opened their scoring through a Melbourne own-goal in the first half and pulled one back early in the second half through Mile Sterjovski but they paid the price for terrible defending in the first half. Melbourne’s win – their first in four games – avenged back-to-back defeats on the road and meant they leapfrogged Gold Coast and moved back into second spot, one point behind ladder-leading Sydney FC. Thompson opened the scoring when he pounced on Hernandez’s through-ball and burned off Perth defender Chris Coyne and beat the keeper. Kruse scored his first from another well-weighted Hernandez pass, after Coyne gave the ball up in the middle of the ground …
