All White Marco Rojas has inspired the Melbourne Victory to a crucial victory while also forging near the front of the A-League goal-scoring stakes.
Rojas scored two goals in the Victory's 4-1 win over the Central Coast Mariners last night, lifting his season tally to eight, one behind team-mate Besart Berisha and Bruno Fornaroli of Melbourne City.
Melbourne's win leaves the Victory seven points behind league frontrunners Sydney FC with a game in hand.
Victory's six game unbeaten streak has been inspired by hot form from Rojas and the return of Ben Khalfallah into the first XI.
Coach Kevin Muscat praised Rojas.
