Roar demolish Sydney 3-1, JBS with a fantastic strike. Adelaide currently smashing Western United 0-3, including a calamitous own goal by Léo Lacroix.
Thing is, for the first 30 minutes Western were all over them and didn't score. and find themselves down 3-0. weird game.
Western get one back, 1-3
Good atmosphere here for the original rivalry
Ibusuki's really hitting some form. Great header.
Ibusuki is so good in the air, 1-0
Adelaide can't seem to finish off their chances to kill this one off. 1-0
Penalty!! Goodwin converts, 2-0
Good little advantage played by Kersey too.
Reds have played MV off the park tonight and are building into a very good team this season.

Warland finishes the job, 3-0
McGarry dropped by the Jets.
Absolute minties moment by the Jets Keeper. 0-1
Not the first time Weier has badly misjudged things. He's a really self confident keeper, bordering on arrogant. Maybe that impairs his judgement a bit.
That said he's just pulled off a ripper of a save.

Ha! Matching disasters at the back. Jets back in it.
Comical by Jamieson, 1-1
Sotirio, McGarry on. Maybe the Nix lads can help rescue this one for the Jets.
Some high quality footy this half.

Second yellow for O'Neill, City down to 10. Still leading 2-1 with 15 to go.
Time runs out for the Jets and it's three losses in a row.
A great game to watch. Had everything. I actually thought that the referee handled it quite well.
I reckon this could be a high scoring derby.
Surely that’s a clear yellow on Grant at the end of the first half? Professional foul and one that wasn’t missing. That kind of thing annoys me so much when there’s some yellow for time wasting or encroaching or something. Plus that it’s Grant and Sydney a bad look.
Still think the refs have improved this year and the clamp down on dangerous tackles is good, as long as it continues to be evenly administered.

Have often thought Yengi is a bit overrated but that was a cracking goal.
Was just dipping in and out, but it seems like he played a blinder of a game tonight. There was a bit of feeling in that one. Right in Rudan’s motivational wheelhouse. Maybe he’s put his hand up for the Sydney job there too?
Another wrinkle was Burgess playing for FC having walked out on Rudan at Western.

That was great, a genuine old school derby, including some handbags there at the end. Think I heard it was WSW's first win on Sydney's home turf for 9 years.
Ten man Mariners still in the game with 25 to go. Were 2-0 down but Kuol has done what Cummings couldn't do two minutes earlier and scored from the penalty spot.
Kuol again! How the hell did he get that in?
2-2
2-2
Sloppy play from CCM allow MC to score in the 95min 3-2
MacArthur pinch it 3-2 in the last seconds. Bugger.
Stating the bleeding obvious but Kuol is a hell of a player.

It was sloppy but I love the intent and the confidence of a team that was down a man and 2-0 to press for a win right to the death.
Another highly entertaining game of footy.

Normally I would be against a young player heading overseas before he can prove himself as a starter but Kuol is clearly above the A-League, staying here much longer would actively hurt his development.
And the ALM is back!
Goodwin a late scratching for Adelaide
Blackwood gets a head onto a cross from a corner, 0-1
Danzaki is really struggling this season, some great chances missed tonight. 0-1
Isaias with a stupid second yellow card. He now misses the Nix game next weekend. 0-1
Late drama, Roar awarded a penalty. 0-1
O'Shea converts, 1-1
Ugh, I'm torn here. I don't want Sydney to win or City to extend their lead at the top of the table.
