Melbourne Victory skipper Carl Valeri has vowed the A-League champions will learn from the "harsh lesson" they were dealt by APIA Leichhardt in their shock FFA Cup defeat.
Valeri admitted his team was clearly out-enthused by the NSW NPL outfit, who won 3-2 in Tuesday night's round of 16 clash at Leichhardt Oval in Sydney.
It will go down as one of the biggest upsets in the tournament's short history and APIA's finest hour since they won the National Soccer League title in 1987.
Two goals from Japanese striker Tasuku Sekiya and a late header from Nathan Millgate sealed the result, heading off a late comeback from Victory, who had equalised at 2-2 after a Kenny Athiu brace.
