Events

Match Events

0' It’s Showtime! The match between Adelaide United FC and Auckland FC is underway.
4' The referee shows Auckland FC player a card on 4.
9' Adelaide United FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
14' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Adelaide United FC that had 233 games and scored 368 goals.
19' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
24' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
29' Adelaide United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 29.
34' Jay Barnett has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 26 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
39' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
44' Jake Girdwood-Reich puts Auckland FC on the lead.
49' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Auckland FC winning 50% of all matches.
50' The referee shows Auckland FC player a card on 50.
55' Yaya Dukuly needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
58' Goal! Sam Cosgrove scores his 57 goal in 350 matches.
63' It looks like no one’s ball. Adelaide United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
64' It’s gonna be a card for Louis Verstraete.
69' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Adelaide United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
74' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
79' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ryan Kitto suffering a number of foals already.
84' It looks surprising Adelaide United FC does not make any changes. Brody Burkitt has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
86' What a strike from Logan Rogerson! The score is 0-3.
90' Adelaide United FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 90.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-3.
