East Kew started strong, taking an early lead and coming close to doubling it. Despite Malvern’s fluid ball movement, East Kew’s defence held firm until a well-worked equaliser brought the team’s level. Just before halftime, East Kew capitalised on an opportunity to go 2–1 up.

Malvern roared back in the second half, equalising quickly with a sharp finish. The match remained on a knife’s edge until Malvern netted a decisive goal to seal the win. Both teams impressed, with Malvern’s young side showcasing great potential and East Kew demonstrating determination.

South Springvale started with intent, creating early chances and pressing Oakleigh. However, Oakleigh struck first with Marco’s composed finish, gaining momentum and dictating the game. A second goal before halftime cemented Oakleigh’s control.

Despite South Springvale’s spirited efforts in the second half, their attacks were thwarted by Oakleigh’s solid defence. Oakleigh threatened to extend their lead but were denied by the crossbar and missed opportunities.
