Share on Twitter The draw ensures the Reds will play finals football but they won t know their position on the table until the conclusion of the Macarthur-Wellington fixture on Friday night. The Reds took an early lead but soon fell behind after two quick goals from the visitors. A red card to Tass Mourdoukoutas late in the first half gave Adelaide some hope of salvaging the contest and their playoffs hopes. United started with intent and dominated play early with Louis D Arrgio forcing Wanderers keeper Daniel Margush into a great save early on, diving low and tipping around the post.
He’s without a goal in 15 A-League appearances this season, but Al Hassan Toure has been recalled to Adelaide United’s side after finding form in the NPL.

by Val Migliaccio 23rd May 2021 8:14 PM | Updated: 8:30 PM Adelaide United edged closer to securing a finals berth after a narrow win over Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park on Sunday. Adelaide is sitting third, three points behind second-placed Sydney which it hosts at home on Saturday night. The 1-0 win courtesy of a Craig Goodwin goal didn’t tell the full story. Adelaide completed a clean sweep, three wins over Victory in a season, for the first time since the A-League’s debut season in 2005/06. Goodwin scored his seventh goal of the season after a brilliant combination with impressive midfielder Josh Cavallo.

Adelaide United missed the chance to go second in the A-League as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Western United in an ill-tempered and dramatic encounter on Friday.
Samuel Green 1619339139,1619343618 Tomer Hemed’s 97th-minute penalty clinched a thrilling 2-1 win as Wellington Phoenix denied Adelaide United the chance to climb to the top of the A-League ladder in a breathless contest on ANZAC Day. The Israel international kept a composed head to convert from 12 yards deep into stoppage time while chaos was ensuring around him after goalkeeper Joe Gauci was penalised for knocking over Phoenix substitute Jaushua Sotirio during a goalmouth scramble. Teenage attacker Ben Waine struck for the fourth straight A-League game – becoming the fourth player in Wellington Phoenix history to do so – seven minutes after Adelaide captain Stefan Mauk had fired the Reds ahead in the 51st minute at WIN Stadium in Wollongong.
Matthew Comito 1618460705,1618466800 Ben Halloran s nonchalant back-heeled volley scored against Macarthur FC was adjudged Goal of Matchweek 16 Alex Brosque. The Sydney FC legend chose the Adelaide United winger s goal for both the audacity of the finish and the confidence of the assist, which Joshua Cavallo fired into the box from the left flank on the volley. Halloran - perhaps thinking he was offside - attacked the ball casually, flicking it past Adam Federici into the back of the net. But a VAR check found Mark Milligan keeping him onside, as Halloran wrapped up all three points for the Reds in an impressive 3-1 victory.
October 5, 2007 Robbie Kruse burst onto the A-League scene in 2007 with Queensland Roar (now Brisbane Roar), providing a strong platform to launch a career which took the Socceroos ace to the German Bundesliga and back to Melbourne Victory, where the 32-year-old has plied his trade since 2019. Kruse made his debut for the Roar on his 19th birthday against Wellington Phoenix. The promising teenager scored on debut in the 45th minute, combining with Michael Zullo (18 years old at the time) to devastating effect on either flank for Frank Farina s side. Zullo scored one before assisting Kruse s maiden A-League goal to help the Roar notch a win over Wellington – an important result for the Queenslanders who had recorded one win in six games to open the 2007/08 campaign.

Al Hassan Toure had already set Australian football on fire during Adelaide United’s run to the final of that edition of the FFA Cup, Sydney FC’s Luke Ivanovic continues to develop and should do further in a season where he appears likely to receive more playing minutes from Steve Corica and Angus Thurgate is lighting up McDonald Jones Stadium each time he takes to it.
