That CCM team is barely NPL level. Doesn't help they have 2 visas injured & 1 getting dropped + their other marquee signing injured.

Nice if Mariners can get a result to take points off the Jets.

CCM started fairly well but not really creating anything

Simon!! 1-0

GOAL!!! Wonderful by Miller & Simon.

Jair should have leveled things up there

The Hoff makes it 1-1

And Vargas make a it 1-2. It's been all the Jets this half

And O'Neill has done a shoulder for CCM

"Never a good sign when you are about to erase the New Zealand Knights from a record" (worst ever start through 9 rounds)

That was Hoole's 13th loss in a row, he was absent in the two draws to start the season for CCM.

Adelaide hosting WSW tonight, if Adelaide win by 2 we drop to 6th.

Suman (one of their scholarship players) the starting keeper for WSW, Nizic not even on the bench. Roly back, so that is a plus for WSW

Same here. My interest in the whole league tends to subside when our season is doomed. Am into nearly every game at the moment.

Izzo loses the ball in the sun, rather lucky no one tapped it in

And Riera puts Wanderers into the lead, 0-1

Mileusnic!! 1-1

And Mileusnic does it again! Unlucky for Suman having it go between his legs 2-1

Some of these instances where players are fouling a guy on the break like on Goodwin there are really out of hand. Literally just rugby tackled him from behind. I actually wouldn't mind a red card for rubbish like that.

And Elsey is off! Adelaide have 30 mins to hold onto their lead.

Elsey Dagger

And Kamau levels it up straight away, 2-2. The locals are not happy

The @FFA have issued a statement regarding an incident involving @wswanderersfc midfielder Roly Bonevacia against @AdelaideUnited on Wednesday night.

Football Federation Australia is no closer to catching the culprit who allegedly racially abused Western Sydney’s Roly Bonevacia in his native Dutch language at Hindmarsh Stadium on Boxing Day.https://t.co/O8MAZGppJN@TheTiserSport @ALeagueCon
