Full Time – Adelaide United overpowered Central Coast Mariners at Coopers Stadium tonight, winning 3-1 thanks to a strong second half performance from the Reds.
The first half ended 0-0 despite two penalties to either side, both Carrusca and Ferreira missing from the spot kick.
Adelaide were dominant throughout the match, and scored the first goal through Craig Goodwin. The winger was one of the best players on the park tonight, and finished off a great cross from Sanchez to give the Reds the lead on the hour mark.
However, Fabio Ferreira equalised just 7 minutes later with a composed finish through the legs of Tarek Elrich and just inside the far post.
But despite drawing level, CCM couldn’t hold out the match, falling apart in the middle of the pitch to allow two more goals in the final 20 minutes. Pablo Sanchez scored in the 81st minute, and substitute Mate Dugandzic got a tap from Craig Goodwin in stoppage time.
Final Score: ADL 3-1 CCM

90+2′ – Dugandzic seals it for Adelaide! Fantastic run from Goodwin to get the ball on the wing and drive it into the box. Dugandzic had the composure to finish inside the box.

90′ – Central Coast have four minutes of stoppage time to find an equaliser. That’s more than enough as they attack down the right through Ferreira.

88′ – Goodwin and Elrich link well. They’ve been running rings around their defenders all afternoon down that left channel. Carrusca comes to help out, but looks for the flag to waste time. Poor tactics as he is quickly dispossessed.

87′ – Stella links well with Montgomery to earn a corner. Carrusca and Dugandzic defend the short corner well and earn a freekick when breaking away.

86′ – Not long for Central Coast to get back into the match. Liam Rose wins a battle in midfield, then plays a good ball out wide to spark an attack. That’s what they need.

84′ – Sanchez makes way for Dugandzic. I agree with that change.The Spainard has been good tonight, but despite scoring, Goodwin has played better.

82′ – Neill fouls Babalj, who made a great run down the right forcing Neill to backtrack and make the foul just outside the box. Carrusca can’t find the right pass into the box.

81′ – Goal Adelaide! Pablo Sanchez makes a near post run following a corner, and flicks the ball to the far post. It beats everyone and hits the back of the net!

80′ – Babalj lets a great cross from Marrone whiz right by him. Didn’t gamble on it making it to him.

79′ – Carrusca plays the one-two with Elrich, but the Argentine’s return wasn’t good enough. They have been lacking any quality in the box tonight, though Babalj looks sharp with the touches he has had.

78′ – Carrusca fires a venomous shot from just outside the area, but it was always rising.

76′ – Credit to Tony Walmsely for making that change at half time. Mariners have looked on par with Adelaide for the majority of this match, and have looked more comfortable in defence with McGing back there. Uskok has also done well.

74′ – Sanchez found the run of Babalj, but somehow McGing gets a touch. Again great defending.

65′ – Stella forces Margush into a fantastic save. He hit it from 25 yards out, and it looked destined for the bottom right corner, but Margush got there to push around for a corner.

Bailey Wright certainly is a no-nonsense defender, but not a bad option to have. Playing in the lower leagues of England has helped him develop that aggression, and whilst it might look like a hindrance, we saw elements of his composure in playing out from defence. He is only young, too, and with so many games already up his sleeve I can only see him getting better.
