26′ George is enjoying himself out there and is causing Ridenton all sorts of problems with his pace. Victory need to get him more of the ball.

22′ The game has swung back in Wellingtons favour as they keep possession well for a decent period. Victory are set up well defensively and not giving away too much space.

20′ And just as I say Victory are running things, Wellington have a big chance. A poor clearance by Deng lands on the edge of the box and Ridenton doesn’t connect well and the ball bounces wide. Should have done better.

15′ Goal !!!
What a goal by Victory… Unbelievable turn by Barbarouses in the middle of the park, he drives through the middle and puts Berisha through on goal, he cuts back on his left and bends the ball past Italiano into the top left hand corner.

Welcome to todays game between Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Victory on The Roar.
Would love to hear your thoughts how this game will go ??

I have to say I agree with your points on the referee, he had a shocker tonight.
The first goal was a terrible decision in my opinion. He was offside and interfering with the ball. I don’t know how they cant call that on review ??
I would be annoyed if I was a Wanderers fan after tonight. Sometimes it seems like there is nothing you can do and the Gods are against you and Gombau will be feeling like that tonight.

Match Report
Adelaide United 2
Western Sydney Wanderers 0
Adelaide got the result tonight against Western Sydney at Coopers Stadium in an action packed game which puts them up to 4th on the ladder.
Can a weekend go by when we are not taking about VAR ?? The video technology that was brought in at the start of the season played a big part in how tonight’s game developed.
Adelaide started the better and should of went ahead through Mileusnic who missed a glorious chance inside the 6 yard box when his volley went straight at Janjetovic in the WSW goal.
All the drama started to unfold when Adelaide where awarded a penalty when Cornthwaite was judged to have handled the ball inside the box from a Diawara volley. If the penalty call was harsh then the decision to give Cornthwaite his marching orders was worse.
There was no way that the WSW defender could of got his hand out of the way that close to the shot from Diawara and the decision to give him his second yellow was poor. Luckily for WSW Diawara missed the resulting penalty.
Adelaide with the man advantage started to dominate the game and and created some good opportunities to take the lead and hit the post twice but couldn’t capitalise due to some poor finishing.They say a good time to score is before half time and that is exactly what happened when The Reds scored courtesy of Ryan Kittto. The goal was put under review using VAR and it looked on replay that Diawara was in an offside position however the goal stood and Adelaide went into the break with a big grip on the game being a goal and man up.
WSW nearly got back into the game early in the second half when Riera hit the crossbar with a powerful header but it was Adelaide who got the all important second goal when Kitto scored his second of the night. He owes his second of the night to the clever play shown by Mileusnic who turned away from Janjetovic when one on one and passed it across to Kitto who had the easy task of slotting the ball into the unguarded net. It looked like an uphill battle from here for WSW but they where giving a lifeline into the game when Garuccio was shown a red card for a terrible tackle on Bonevacia,again this decision went to VAR but this time the correct decision was made and we now had 10 VS 10.
It wasn’t to be for WSW and they couldn’t get any sort of control over the game in the last 20 minutes and the game winded down for an Adelaide win. Even though they were giving a helping hand with the sending off they played some lovely football at times and full credit to Adelaide especially after the loss midweek in the cup.
Kurz will be delighted with his teams efforts tonight and with the potential return of key players from injury over the coming weeks Adelaide could be battling it out at the top of the ladder pretty soon.

28′ Goal !!! and against the run of play Wellington take the lead.
What a header from Kaludjerovic. Galloway with a beauty of a cross and the power Kaludjerovic got on the hearder left Thomas with no chance.
