Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Coopers Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Adelaide United FC and Western United FC.
5' Western United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
10' GOAL! Kane Vidmar scores on 10. Assisted by Dylan Leonard
15' Matthew Grimaldi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Western United FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

32' Goal! Dylan Leonard scores his 2 goal in 150 matches.
37' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
42' 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 Riku Danzaki suffering a number of foals already.
46' Abel Walatee is replacing Matthew Grimaldi for the Western United FC side.
51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
