Auckland FC are striving for a fast start in this evening's A-League semi-final return leg against Melbourne Victory at Mt Smart

The Black Knights take a one-goal advantage into the re-match, the last stop before the grand final.

Coach Steve Corica says a week off ahead of the first leg meant they were a bit rusty...but he doesn't expect that to be the case again.



Meanwhile, Melbourne Victory coach Arthur Diles is confident his side can break down Auckland FC's stingy defence.

Victory haven't scored a goal against the Black Knights across three matches this season.



Kick off is at six o'clock .
