That strike was a first-half opener in the A-League clash, added to after the break by Charles Nduka.
Unfortunately, however, that two-goal advantage was cancelled out by a quickfire double from the hosts, courtesy of Apostolos Stamatelopoulos and Ahmet Metin Arslan, with the game ultimately ending in a draw.
It comes just a couple of weeks after Mata made headlines in the Melbourne derby, netting two spectacular goals and laying on a third in his side’s 3-1 victory last month.
Having signed for Victory last September, the former Red has already netted four goals and provided 10 assists in his first 19 games for the club – no wonder Bruno had such faith!
