That is all we have for you from Adelaide this evening. Thanks for tuning into Tribe's A-League coverage. Until next time, I'm Dan Gread saying goodbye for now.
Western will be disappointed with the result tonight. Even though they frustrated Adelaide at times throughout the match, they were unable to find any real cohesion up front. Ibusuki tried hard up front but lacked help. They were hard done by with a clear penalty waived away in the second half as Walatee went down inside the box with clear contact from behind. Outside of Sutton in goal who was outstanding, Thurgate was the best on show for Western United tonight. He was involved in everything on both sides of the ball through the middle of the park. With the international break on the horizon, they will take on Perth in a couple of weeks time.
It was decided by narrow margins tonight in Adelaide! An own goal and a possible penalty that wasn't spoil the night for Western United. Adelaide were excellent on attack. The likes of Clough and Pierias were elite with their speed on attack. Clough managed to break the deadlock in the second half and the Reds were able to hang on over the last 20 minutes. Vriends was solid in his first start for his new club, while the likes of Alagich was excellent with balls forward. A trip to Brisbane awaits on the other side of the international break.
90+5'
Good ball looking for White at the top of the box but Sutton comes forward. He launches it forward with seconds left on the clock. York gets it back and drives it forward. Walatee goes down well outside the box and gets the free kick! Thurgate comes forward, swings it into the box! Headed away by Kitto! That will do it! Adelaide come away with the victory!
90+4'
Vriends with the big up and under from halfway! Sutton has it on the bounce. The ball back through the middle is cut out by Yull as he turns and burns but Thurgate puts the shoulder in and brings him down. The free kick is kept short as Adelaide take it into the corner on the left.
90+3'
CHANCE! Alagich delivers towards the back post! Kikianis brings it down and swings it off the right. Takes another deflection away for a corner on the left. Yull keeps it short and it comes in across the face! It is passed Sutton but cleared off the line at the back post by THURGATE!
90+2'
SAVE! Western at the back on halfway launch it up the right. Pierias with the first time ball for Yull! Worked back for Goodwin at the top of the area! He slams it off the right! Good save from Sutton down low at the near post and it is away for a corner!
90+1'
Five minutes of added time. Western look to come up the right again. Turned over as the Reds take it deeper with Delianov at the top of the area. Adelaide come forward on the counter! They push it up the right but the ball is under hit by White and Western turn it over the sideline outside the area.
