Adelaide United 1-0 Wellington Phoenix

43min

United slightly rattled after Blackwood misplaces a pace and then looses the ball under pressure.
Phoenix with the ball ...
And they shoot just wide.
Only their second "chance" since the second minute.

And we are starting to give away fouls around the half way line.
The big Wellington striker goes down in the box, play on, no foul.

1min added time.
Phoenix with a corner ...

Wow, Warland heads back to his goal.
The ball pinballs onto the post and the Ref sees a free for United or offside.
That was very close.
half-time!

This far from over.

[blahblah]

Lovely intervention from Barnett. Lovely.

[blahblah]

oooooooooh. Very, very close.

[mcjules]

Lovely intervention from Barnett. Lovely.

Definitely have missed him. Not sure what Warland was doing before that, he's been dicey a couple of times today.

[EdDog]

Barnett is class. Really sures up our midfield.

Lopez outstanding, Blackwood with some good half chances.

Everyone playing pretty well. Warland still scares me.

Deserved a second goal.

Keep it up in the second half lads

[The Claw]

Blackwood starting probably cost us a goal or two and nearly led to conceding one.
Warland is having a mare today, who heads back towards their own goal like that! All Nix chances have come from poor turnovers from us.

Not over yet,

D’Arrigo & Blackwood both been running themselves into the ground giving Wellington pressure as they try and play out. (Exactly what we didn’t have with our young boys last week.)
I don’t think they can keep that up too long in the second half.

Good half for us. Same again second half and we win this.

[RedTide]

Barnett and Javi Lopez are vying for player of the match at the moment - and Javi is just ahead. Goodwin doing Goody things. Halloran's confidence is so shot that even his crossing, which used to be exemplary, has fallen to bits. Blackwood ... oh George ...

For all our dominance, though, we haven't put them away. This one is still there to be won, by either side.

Phoenix dominating these first few minutes
2nd corner to the Nix.
Gauci fists away and United break.
Goodwin to Barnett but Blackwood shoots at the keeper.

[otto62]

Need to survive the onslaught of the first 10 minutes (be nice to score on the counterattack too).

[bpowell454]

Jay Barnett has been fantastic. Blackwood is rubbish, Halloran is frustrating to watch at the moment.

A better team would have killed this off by now, we're keeping the nix in it.
