You know what they say, rain can be a great leveller... hopefully both teams find it tough but CCM's recent travel schedule catches up with them in the cold and wet and they ship one late on for a 1-0 Adelaide win.
A-Leagues 23/24, The Other Matches Thread
Adelaide with the most goals scored this season. On there day they can beat anyone. It's just there defence is terrible. ... But anything can happen in football. Kaltak must be due a bad game. And Delianov is surely due for a blinder in the Adelaide goal....
I'm ready to be hurt.
If CCM wins, they deserve it, if they lose, it's a bonus for Nix fans.
Let's get our expectations right to ensure no disappointment either way :D

Expect disappointment and you won't be disappointed
I have decided for the sake of my health not to watch the game. I'll have a good night sleep and see the result in the morning.

Other way around- this only has upside. I’ve let the season go since Doka…but we could get an amazing gift wrapped prezzie tonight because we hung in there after the fact.
A must win game for Adelaide tonight. :)
So, sorry I must have missed something, is Irankunda OK to play tonight?
Yes.
Why no Delianov in goal?

Go Radelaide!
What the fudgek was that defending from Adelaide? Free header from 10-12 yards.
Thought the ref had blown it as a goal initially.

Vukovic great early on, All these shots from Adelaide is getting my hopes up
Adelaide looks up for this, neither team looking that good in these conditions but Adelaide is looking better.
Vukovic clearly has no interest in doing his old club any favours.
Also wearing the pink charity kit seems like an odd choice for potentially winning the plate and having celebration photos - Feel like you'd want you home kit for an occasion like that - or maybe that's just me
The nice side effect of the pink is Adelaide is wearing NZ footballing colours
Two massive tackles from Kaltak.
Damn could have been 3 up by now the reds
Is anyone else living every Adelaide shot like they're out in the middle playing? 😅
100 out of 100 times Irankunda shoots in that situation...
So of course he goes for the pull back there. 😭

Great save. Adelaide have been shambolic these last 5 minutes.
Where is the yellow card for Theoharous on that dive?!
Don't tell him to just get up. He's trying to obtain a foul by deception, book the slimy prick.

Adelaide looking good. Even match so far, a shame CCM only needs a draw. Still have hope, more than I thought I would have at this time in the match.
Boom! ☹️
Fudge. Hope gone.
Adelaide had 3 good changes to go ahead. They fudgeing blew it.
And there's why I've found it hard to get truly excited about the game.
Stupid foul, stupid defending.

I got the FotMob update 30 seconds in advance of that goal.
Almost as painful as watching Adelaide attempting to defend...

Welp. What could have been. Though unlikely, I am holding on to hope that this CCM team fatigues rapidly in the wet weather due to their schedule and Adelaide bounce back after the break to take it 3 - 1 and give Nix their I augural prem.
Man Adelaide are trash. Slowly played out of a safe attacking position to give a dodgy looped back pass to their shaky keeper. Wow.

We lost the trophy ourselves a few weeks back in Gosford
Fark I was thinking Adelaide would start smashing it with some of the chances and shots they made.
45 mins to go. Come on you Adelaide.

A few things could have gone better... Adelaide with 2 of the 3 good chances in the game but are behind. I guess thats football
Would like to see the offside lines on their allowed goal, I'm not sure Farrell was in an onside position.
Also really annoys me when the referee blows half time before the minimum allocated extra time
