Came as it did in a 3-2 defeat at the hands of a Jed Drew-inspired Macarthur, Western Sydney star Juan Mata is hopeful his first A-League Men goal will lead to bigger and better things.
Making his first start for the Wanderers since November 2, Mata was picked out in the penalty area by Josh Brillante in the 23rd minute of the New Year's Day clash at CommBank Stadium and made it 1-1 with a deftly placed shot.
