- 14' A stunning finish from Guillermo May Bartesaghi — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 19' Jordan Elsey, a Australia , has 5 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 24' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 29' Jay Barnett is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Adelaide United FC tonight.
- 30' GOAL! Jordan Elsey fires home to make it 2-1!
- 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. Auckland FC and Adelaide United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
