Juan Mata\u2019s side <strong>defeated Sydney FC 4\u20130<\/strong> in a standout performance from the Asturian midfielder, who provided three assists. Mata now has <strong>seven assists this season<\/strong> in the Australian league, more than any other player in the competition.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The match turned into a true celebration at Melbourne\u2019s AAMI Park, where the home fans enjoyed a dream second half. Melbourne Victory dominated the first half but were unable to find the net, with the only goal ruled out coming from Davidson in the 17th minute. Juan Mata\u2019s team continued to push after the break, and the reward came in the form of four goals, scored by Santos (two), Jelacic and Lachlan. Juan was the provider for three of them, the last from a corner kick.    <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An El Mago \ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddee\ud835\ude00\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddee\ud835\ude00\ud835\ude00 in the Big Blue \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8\ud83e\ude84 Juan Mata is rolling back the years at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gomvfc?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@gomvfc<\/a>! <br \/><br \/>Three asists tonight. <br \/><br \/>Seven for the season. <br \/><br \/>What a performance. <br \/><br \/>What a player. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TLwi6Tuahj\">pic.twitter.com\/TLwi6Tuahj<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Isuzu UTE A-League (@aleaguemen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aleaguemen\/status\/2015715816487137678?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 26, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The performance made headlines around the world. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aleagues.com.au\/news\/aleague-men-melbourne-victory-sydney-fc-big-blue-goals-highlights\/\">Mata masterclass: the Spanish superstar shines with three assists<\/a>,\u201d read the official website of the competition.
