Outstanding performance
Melbourne Victory•MidfielderMelbourne Victory and Adelaide United played out a spirited 1-1 draw in what proved to be an entertaining Friday night encounter. Victory took the lead through Keegan Jelacic's well-taken finish in the 26th minute, but their advantage was short-lived as Yaya Dukuly restored parity for the visitors just nine minutes later. The match became increasingly fractious in the second half, with six yellow cards dished out as both sides made numerous substitutions in search of a winner. The result leaves both teams with work to do in their respective campaigns, with neither able to gain the crucial three points needed to climb the A-League Men table.
How entertaining was this match?
