A-Leagues adventures in Asia (ACL & AFC Cup thread)

In contrast I've been very impressed with Bulut tonight. Dead eyed, tattooed maniac he may be but his workrate and off-the-ball runs have been excellent.

Did that save by Covic cross the line? I think it did.

Wow what a mad last ten minutes. Covic and WSW have got very lucky there.

From reply it has crossed the line. Thing for the referees there is no goal line technology and the assistant referee wouldn't have had a view as all he would see is Covic back.

It was even a little further over the line than in that pic, i took the screenshot a split second too late, but yeah nothing the assistant could've done. Goal line tech would've been the only way that could've been called.

Suwon Bluewings v Brisbane @ 10:30pm

Absolute howler from Jamie Young to almost hand Suwong the opening goal. Rivaled Theo's against us for sheer ineptitude but luckily Young didn't pay the ultimate price.

HT 0-0

Where Young failed Brattan succeeds. Terrible blunder puts Suwon 1-0 up.

Another tidy finish. Can't see Roar coming back now.

And that is pretty much game over, Suwon makes it 2-0.

It was pretty naive defending. Roar have only themselves to blame. Probably curtains for their ACL campaign.

3-0

Nah, they haven't looked likely all night. Mind you Suwon weren't that crash hot until Roar started handing over goals on a silver platter.

WSW took an early lead but losing 2-1 now at a very wet Parramatta Stadium

Roar take the lead away from home

Roar down 1-0 early

Stream?

2 zip now

Roar pull one back, 1-2

WSW winning 1-0 and the other game is a draw, so atm WSW are going thru to the knockout stages

Looks like Seoul has scored a late winner to knock WSW out

Guttered to have both teams exit at the group stages but it probably represents their quality. Melbourne Victory and Sydney should do a lot better next season.

Can't see Guangzhou Hengda not topping group H

If Shanghai SIPG make it through the play offs and end up in Group G they will give the Tards a run for their money.

ACL kicks off for the Aussies tonight with Adelaide hosting Shandong Luneng in a play off game.

Highly entertaining but weird game. Even 2-0 down Adelaide were still in it but still could've, probably should've, lost 5-0 if Shandong had taken all their chances earlier.

A few deft flicks and passes aside a really poor game from Carrusca who coughed up the first goal, missed a penalty and whose delivery was generally substandard all night for someone of his pedigree.

Victory play at 9:45pm tonight, Sydney at 11:30pm.

Smeltz starting up front for Sydney tonight. Don't expect him to get many chances with Sydney setting up with a back 5

Ingham puts the Victory up 1-0

Shanghai equalise, 1-1
