Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Adelaide United FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Fabio suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Harry Van der Saag is replacing Joshua Cavallo for the Adelaide United FC side.
- 15' England international Zach Clough has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 20' Sydney 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.
- 24' A meaty challenge results in booking for Corey Hollman on 24.
- 27' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Robert Mak makes it 1-0.
- 32' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sydney FC and Adelaide United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 37' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 42' Adelaide United FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 42.
- 47' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sydney FC and Adelaide United FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 52' Adelaide United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 57' Jaiden Kucharski is ready to make an impact after coming on for Robert Mak at the 57 minute mark.
- 60' Giuseppe Bovalina is ready to make an impact after coming on for Hiroshi Ibusuki at the 60 minute mark.
- 65' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
