The match ends in a draw with both teams sharing the points after an entertaining contest. Jovanovic opened the scoring for Adelaide early in the game, giving them a strong start and dominating much of the first half. However, the Central Coast Mariners showed resilience, equalizing through Ngor in the second half, which shifted the momentum in their favor as they pushed for a winner. Throughout the match, both sides had their opportunities to claim victory. Adelaide created several promising chances, particularly in the first half, but were unable to extend their lead due to missed opportunities and strong defensive work from the Mariners. Conversely, Central Coast found their rhythm after the equalizer, pressing high and forcing Adelaide into errors, leading to several near misses that could have turned the tide in their favor.
