Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Adelaide United FC get us underway at AAMI Park.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' Aziz Behich has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 17' Goal! Marcus Younis scores his 6 goal in 207 matches.
  • 22' Melbourne City FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 27' The home supporters are growing impatient. Melbourne City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 32' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Adelaide United FC that had 234 games and scored 368 goals.
  • 37' 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 Luka Jovanovic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' A tactical swap from Melbourne City FC — Harrison Delbridge on, Samuel Souprayen off on 40 minutes.
  • 45' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 50' Austin Ayoubi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 1 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 55' 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.
  • 60' 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.
  • 63' Another change for Adelaide United FC made on 63 minute. Yaya Dukuly leaves to be changed by Luka Jovanovic.
  • 68' Johnny Yull is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Melbourne City FC so far.
  • 70' The referee has no hesitation. Max Caputo is booked for Melbourne City FC — card on 70.
  • 75' Medin Memeti is replacing Max Caputo for the Melbourne City FC side.
  • 78' Fresh legs for Adelaide United FC! Craig Goodwin comes on to replace Anselmo.
  • 79' Luka Jovanovic doubles the advantage! 1-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 84' Elbasan Rashani is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Adelaide United FC tonight.
  • 85' Melbourne City FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 85.
  • 89' That looks like a foul for a card for Harrison Delbridge.
  • 89' Adelaide United FC ring the changes. Harry Crawford has done his job and it is now time for Austin Ayoubi to step up.
  • 90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Jay Barnett on 90 minutes.
  • The final score is 1-2.
