Adelaide, Australia – In a pulsating match at Coopers Stadium, Macarthur FC staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Adelaide United 5-4 in Round 23 of the A-League. The game was characterized by goals at both ends and an intensity that kept spectators on the edge of their seats.
Adelaide United started strongly, scoring three first-half goals through Ayoubi (13′), Kitto (19′), and Mauk (42′). Macarthur, however, responded with goals from Ikonomidis (8′) and Adamson (10′), showcasing impressive resilience. The first half concluded with a yellow card each for Mauk and Brattan.
The second half was even more exciting. Macarthur leveled the score with two quick goals from Brattan (53′) and Jakolis (57′). A goal from Goodwin (73′) for Adelaide looked to put the home side back in the lead, but Macarthur refused to give up and Brattan scored again (83′) to seal the victory. An offside goal disallowed for Adelaide in stoppage time didn’t change the final result. The match finished with three yellow cards for Adelaide and two for Macarthur.
