Yarraville Glory’s Australia Cup run came to an end on Tuesday night but it wasn’t without a fight.
Facing the Melbourne Knights, which plays three divisions higher, the Glory were the underdogs going into the match.
Despite this, it was the Glory which opened the scoring in the 26th minute through Dominic Yuel.
The Glory maintained that lead at the main break.
The Knights finally found the back of the net in the 60th minute through Luka Kolic, who headed one into the back of the net.
The Knights took the lead in the 75th minute through Mitch Hore, before sealing the win when Ciaran Branwell scored in the 81st to give his side a 3-1 lead.
While disappointed with the loss, the seventh round is the furthest the club has progressed in the competition.
On social media, the club said the whole community was proud of the side that never gave up.
The Knights head into the final 32 of the competition, which includes A-League clubs and clubs from interstate.
They are joined by the Goulburn Valley Suns, Heidelberg United, Northcote City and the Oakleigh Cannons.
The Glory are back in action on Friday night in the FV state league 1 north-west competition against Upfield at Gibb Reserve.
