Zach Clough kick-started Adelaide's come back with a goal inside the opening minute of the second half. His low strike found the net at the second attempt, with the ball cannoning off Ben Warland, who was Roar's last ditch line of defence. Half-time substitute Archie Goodwin then grabbed the goal to turn the game on its head, slotting home after a great assist from Dylan Pierias. Adelaide grew further in confidence after taking the lead and should have put the game out of sight. Jonny Yull and Ben Folami missed late chances, after a penalty decision to Adelaide was overturned following a VAR review. However, Adelaide held on with ease and they go joint-top of the A league, alongside Melbourne Victory on ten points.
