To be fair they did react well once they'd squandered the opportunity to go 3 or 4-nil up immediately, let the other team back in the game, and also given the ref no choice but to reduce them to 10 men.

Again

We won and are still undefeated with a no name squad.

A win here would be nice

A highlight match for one AU player tonight

Adelaide United great Isaias Sanchez has become the most-capped player in the club’s Isuzu UTE A-League history.

Isaias eclipsed fellow Adelaide legend Eugene Galekovic on the all-time appearance list with his 239th in the A-Leagues after being named in the starting line-up to face two-time reigning champions Central Coast Mariners on Friday night.
The 37-year-old Spaniard has established himself as a Bonafide legend across two spells at Coopers Stadium.

Over the course of nine total years with Adelaide, Isaias has won four trophies – an Isuzu UTE A-League Championship and Premiership, as well as two Australia Cup titles.

The former Espanyol midfielder has also been crowned the Aurelio Vidmar Medallist on four occasions, while he was the Joe Marston Medallist in 2016.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

AU hit the front after 12 minutes with a goal to Goodwin.

Delianov has made a couple of excellent saves.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

An early 2nd half goal to Defender Kikiannis has give AU a 2:0 49th minute lead.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Stefan Mauk with a 3rd in the 60th minute. Go you Reds.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

4:0 now with a YaYa Dukuly brilliant goal in the 73 minute.

Commentators saying first win against CCM since 2019.

Yep.

Everyone chipping in too, we don't have the star power but we've got total buy in

The Elsey Clock continues.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Bugger turned the match on and AU were leading 1:0 but Shitney just scored an equalizer.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Stefan Mauk puts us back in front in the 24th minute.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

After being hammered for the first 8 minutes of the second half AU go 3:1 up with a goal to Archie Goodwin.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Delianov is SO shit.

 

[George Kramer]

Wow

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Delianov is SO shit.

Poor keeping but he had a good match. We could hang on for the last minute. 3:3

 

[Interloperer]

Delianov not great. But Vriends is at fault for the 2nd goal. Steps back for no reason and played the Sydney player on side.

Costa shouldn't have been on the field to take the shot of course.

 

[bigman]

Delianov couldn’t catch a cold. Bring back Gauci or someone

 

[bigman]

One word for Delianov Useless

 

[Cromulant]

Sums our side up in a nutshell.

Either really good or really bad, often in the same half.

Still, unbeaten going into Christmas is not something I thought we'd be
