Jamie Maclaren was back in his familiar goalscoring groove in Melbourne's latest Asian Champions League triumph, but the striking ace was only concerned about saluting the character of his team as they emerged from another tough awayday with a fine win in Thailand.
On the backfoot for much of the match with Thai FA Cup champions Buriram United in sweltering conditions on Wednesday, City still managed to prevail 2-0 thanks to the marksmanship of the A-League's all-time leading scorer Maclaren and teenage winger Alessandro Lopane.
