That's a horrible decision. It clearly wasn't a dive.

Maybe for dissent? Kruse is not shy of telling refs to f**k off.

Crikey Korea.

Brilliant ball skills. 

Can't score for shark but.

Good.  He will be rested for Monday and keen to prove a point.

Davidson has a nice first touch and moves into space.  Has done this a few times tonight.

And here I was thinking they'd have to take back all that nonsense they sang before the game.

Juric has been crap since he came on but that made up for it!

Great effort from Juric there. The game isn't over there.

wtf, overall aussie have been the 2nd best team tonight with heaps of South Korean pressure. Kruse getting himself injured. No contact and he gets booked for diving. That made me laugh but i think it was a archillies strain and that isn't  funny on any player, not even Kruse.

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Great game to watch.

Was conflicted- I've lived two years in both countries. Though I played a truck load of football in Korea and none in Aussie. 

South Korea got hurt by two calls by the ref that seemed to favour them. First- the marginal free kick stopped the wave after wave of attack when they seemed certain to score, and had Aussie completely on the ropes. Second- the ref didn't call for what seemed like a certain foul on Juric (or maybe that should be fouls) and then he wriggles past his defender and sets up the winner.

I also found it weird that Aussie picked up 4 yellows and Sth Korea got none, cos they pulled just as many professional fouls on the break-away.

The ref was a real lottery. Seemed like one of those guys who...well reminded me of Ben Williams tbh. Inconsistent.
