Roly Bonevacia had the first genuine opportunity to score but his powerful shot from outside the box went wide.

Adelaide were starting to work their way nicely into the encounter and began to look the more threatening of the two.
In the 29th minute Elsey looked certain to give Adelaide the lead but his delicate shot was blocked off the line by a Phoenix defender.
It mattered little however as the home side went ahead late in the first half courtesy of an own goal.
Craig Goodwin whipped in a dangerous low cross which struck the feet of Manny Muscat sending the crowd at Coopers Stadium into raptures.
While United’s end to the half was exciting and exquisite, their opening to the second was filled with nervousness and anxiety.
The Reds retreated almost instantly, giving the Phoenix an excellent opportunity to get back into the game.
Krishna should have done exactly that but his powerful shot was somehow kept out by Dylan McGowan keeping the hosts ahead.
A few minutes later however, a pivotal decision changed the match again favoring Adelaide significantly.
