There were no last-minute heroics from Werribee City this week as they went down to the undefeated Bentleigh Greens in the National Premier League at Galvin Park on Sunday.
A Brent McGrath goal just before half time was enough for the Greens to get the 1-0 win.
The Greens were the first of the two teams to get the feel of the game, but were unable to capitalise on the scoreboard.
An attempt from the Bees’ Simon Symeoy in the 36th minute was denied by a great save from Greens keeper Stuart Webster.
The Greens hit the front when McGrath put one into the back of the net in the 43rd minute.
In the second half, both defences dominated, providing little opportunity in front of goal.
The Bees’ only real chance came in the 53rd minute through Josh Groenewald, but his strike was again kept out by Webster.
The loss leaves the Bees sitting seventh on the ladder with two wins and two losses.
On Saturday, Werribee City takes on the Goulburn Valley Suns in Shepparton.
