Teenage sensation Maddie Caspers continued her red-hot form at AAMI Park, where the 16-year-old scored her second goal in as many matches to give Sydney a seventh-minute lead on Friday.
But former Sydney forward Lowe ensured Victory would claim a share of the spoils after converting a 20th-minute penalty, which she celebrated by slapping the badge against her ex-employers.

MATCH REPORT: 10-man Sydney frustrate unbeaten Victory in controversial draw
Melbourne Victory and rivals Sydney FC played out a contentious 1-1 draw in Friday night’s Big Blue in the Isuzu UTE A-League.
Jordan Courtney-Perkins and Zinedine Machach traded goals in a thrilling start to the blockbuster clash at AAMI Park in Melbourne.
Courtney-Perkins broke the deadlock with his maiden strike for Sydney in the 10th minute before French star Machach made it three goals in three matches against the Sky Blues seven minutes later.
There was a moment of controversy prior to half-time when Pat Wood was sent off for Sydney following a VAR review but despite the numerical disadvantage and waves of Victory attacks, the visitors held on for a point on the road.
