MELBOURNE, Australia (March 3, 2026) (Interstat) — Benjamin Mazzeo’s header in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time salvaged a 1-1 draw for Melbourne City FC against Buriram United in an AFC Champions League group stage match Tuesday at AAMI Park.

Substitute Bissoli gave the visiting Thai side a lead in the 37th minute, finishing a chance created by Goran Čaušić. Buriram, which had a 71% win probability according to pre-match analytics, appeared poised for an upset victory. Melbourne City pressed relentlessly late, and Mazzeo finally converted a Sandy Walsh service to equalize deep into added time.

The result leaves both clubs with identical records in the competition and across all competitions this season: zero wins, zero losses and one draw. The match featured five yellow cards, including one to goal-scorer Bissoli just moments before Mazzeo’s decisive leveler.
