Adelaide travel to Jiangsu tonight, in an attempt to restore Australian pride, Game at 00:35

Well if you include the qualifying rounds it's 18-9

What's happened? Is it just poor HAL sides (Adelaide bottom, WSW 6th and Roar 5th but closer to last than first)?

Glancing at the match report, Brisbane seemed to be playing a fairly strong squad so I'm not sure what's going on. Interestingly, Ulsan had

Dimitri Petratos in their starting XI so maybe he was able to give them the inside word. The match attendance is listed as 1303 which seems to suggest that the competition isn't of great importance to the fans at this stage.

Aussie sides that do well in the ACL focus on defending & fast counter attacking. None of these 3 are playing like that.

That is true. Strange that WSW did so well against us playing that way and a way they have been successful in the past playing, but other than that game have been focused on possession football.

Wow, Galekovic had an off night. Baba Diawara has been a great pick up for Adelaide, they really need to find a way to get him to stay.

Muang Thong go 1-0 up & in the process of trying to save the ball, Young hits the post and gets hurt. Subbed off straight away.

Caught his arm on one of the bits that hold the net it seems. Pre-game the Ref made them redo the nets, so they are obviously not great standard.
