The game's dynamics shifted strongly in favor of Melbourne early on with three quick goals in the first 22 minutes, sensationally setting the pace and tone. Oakleigh Cannons did attempt to fight back with goals at the 24th and 52nd minutes, but the initial avalanche of goals by Melbourne Victory (Youth) proved insurmountable.

A significant aspect of Melbourne Victory (Youth)'s performance was their clinical finishing.

Oakleigh appeared plagued by inefficiencies in front of the goal, influenced perhaps by the psychological impact of early setbacks.
