LIVE: Adelaide v Melbourne Victory Jeronimo Neumann celebrates his goal for Adelaide United against Melbourne Victory at Hindmarsh Stadium. JOIN US for live coverage of the Adelaide v Melbourne Victory A-League clash from Hindmarsh. 71 MINS:Finally, a Victory shot on goal. If only it was on target. Sadly for Melbourne Marco Rojas' speculative effort was well wide of the goal, almost going out for a throw in. Still, they had the ball at the right end of the ground, if only momentarily. 67 MINS: A nice save from Nathan Coe denies that man Jeronimo again, the Reds striker trying to latch on to a low cross from Iain Ramsay on the left. 63 MINS: Jeronimo's almost in again, running on to another defence splitting pass and taking the ball round Nathan Coe. But his touch is just a bit heavy and the angle is too tight for him to shoot so looks for a teammate instead. When he eventually finds Dario Vidosic on the edge of the area Victory's defence has recovered and clears the danger. 61 MINS: How close can you get? Jeronimo is just inches away from grabbing his and Adelaide's second, only to be denied by the post. The Reds striker runs on to a brilliant long ball from Antony Golec and, spotting Nathan Coe racing off his line, hits a chipped volley with the outside of his right boot. The crowd roars in expectation celebration as the ball lobs towards an unprotected goal but their cheers are rapidly silenced as it cannons off the post. 57 MINS: MELBOURNE SUBSTITUTION - Francesco Stella off, Jesse Makarounas on 55 MINS: It's been one-way traffic since half-time as Adelaide continues to pile on the pressure. Marcelo Carrusca is the next to step up for the Reds, cutting in from the left and unleashing a fierce drive that isn't far off finding the back of the net. It's just wide however. 52 MINS: After two nice saves Nathan Coe almost undoes it all by nearly gifting Adelaide a chance to double their lead. The Victory keeper makes a hash of Iain Ramsay's cross from the left, but thankfully for Coe his defenders are able to clear. Reds continue to look dangerous, Victory are all over the shop. 47 MINS: We're back under way - and Adelaide has almost doubled its lead after two great chances from Dario Vidosic. The first opportunity comes following a mistake from Victory goalkeeper Nathan Coe, who slips while trying to throw the ball out and fires the ball at Vidosic's feet. The Reds midfielder is quick to size up the situation and shoots early but it's straight at Coe who gratefully clings on to the ball. Moments later and Vidosic is nearly in again but his shot is again straight at Coe after he skips neatly into the box. The Reds have started the second half like they finished the first, on fire. HALF-TIME: An absolutely ripping end to the opening 45 minutes sees Adelaide head to the sheds with a 1-0 lead. It's no more than they deserve, having probably been the better side for much of the opening stanza. But after two fluffed chances - particularly a shocking miss from Iain Ramsay - you could forgive Reds fans for wondering where a goal would come from. Jeronimo turned out to be the answer - and it was a peach at that, the Argentine flying high to head home after great work from Dario Vidosic. The goal came just seconds after interim Reds coach Michael Valkanis was sent to the stands. His opposite number, Melbourne boss Ange Postecoglou, has his work cut out lifting his side back into this game, Victory have been off key so far. Still, there's plenty of time left. 42 MINS: It's a minute of madness! Just seconds after their coach is sent off, Adelaide takes the lead. Michael Valkanis probably didn't have enough time to get up to the stands to see it! Lovely work from Dario Vidosic down the left as he turns his defender inside out before whipping a beautiful cross in for Jeronimo, who flies high to thump the ball home with a perfectly timed header. That's a brilliant stuff and much deserved from Adelaide. But it's not a player - Adelaide's interim coach Michael Valkanis has been given his marching orders, presumably for having a little too much to say after that earlier decision. Valkanis sarcastically claps the decision before heading to the stands. 41 MINS: Yellow card - That's five now for Adelaide as Iain Ramsay finds himself in the book after a verbal spray at the ref, who he wanted a penalty decision from after a challenge from Victory keeper Nathan Coe. There didn't look to be much wrong with Coe's contact as he punched the ball clear, but Ramsay was furious. 39 MINS: Big chance for Jeronimo Neumann to put Reds ahead but the Adelaide attacker fluffs it. After Victory fails to clear a dangerous set piece, the ball falls to Jeronimo who has his back to goal. He hits it on the turn but can't swivel fast enough and the shot flies wide. That's two good chances for the Reds, for no return. Still, they look the team most likely. A blow for the Victory as their star striker is forced off with an injury. Thompson looked ginger after tripping over while in possession and can't shake an apparent leg injury. Big chance for young Pain to cause Adelaide some hurt now. 34 MINS: Yellow card - Adelaide now has four players in the book after Jeronimo Neumann is cautioned for a late challenge on Billy Celeski. Victory midfielder Marcos Flores is tackled by Adelaides Jon McKain . 30 MINS: If nothing else, Marcos Flores will definitely remember his (second) return to Hindmarsh Stadium. He'll have boos ringing in his ears for days - he's copped that every time he's touched the ball - and now he's copped a chunk of John McKain's shoulder in his face. Ouch. Meanwhile, Adelaide are building a bit of pressure, there's been some nice work down both flanks from Iain Ramsay and Evan Kostopoulos. 29 MINS: Yellow card - Cassio is the third Adelaide player to go into the book after catching Marco Rojas from behind. He's not impressed either. Imagine how he'll be when he finds out he'll miss Adelaide's next game through suspension! 26 MINS: The home fans aren't happy - Marcos Flores has been awarded a free kick after being fouled by Cassio. Thanfully for the Reds fans' sake, Adelaide manage to clear the resulting free kick. 24 MINS: Just as I was about to write there haven't been too many attacking highlights so far, Adelaide nearly fashions a chance. A nice move from Iain Ramsay almost plays in Jeronimo but Leigh Broxham is alert to the danger and clears for Melbourne VIctory. 19 MINS: Yellow card - Adelaide midfielder Osama Malik is booked for a cliumsy tackle on Jonathan Bru 13 MINS: Yellow card - Adelaide defender John McKain 12 MINS: The Reds might have just started this match the better and have already asked a couple of questions of Melbourne's defence, forcing Victory goalkeeper Nathan Coe to come off his line for a couple of timely interceptions. Adelaide's Iain Ramsay misses an early chance. 6 MINS: Iain Ramsay has booked himself a spot in the end of season highlight reels - just not the ones he'd want to be a part of. The Reds midfielder misses an absolute sitter - and the chance to get Adelaide off to the perfect start. It couldn't have been any easier, Victory failing to deal with a ball into the box, the ball bouncing up off Dario Vidosic's head and right into the path of Ramsay, who's just a couple of yards out from the goal... But instead of tapping it into the back of the net, he inexplicably volleys it on to the cross bar. Definite contender for miss of the season. It will take some beating. Former Adelaide star Marcos Flores hasn't receeived a nice recepetion from the Reds fans - nor his opponents. The Victory midfielder hits the deck after a late challenge from fellow Argentine Marcelo Carrusca, who gets a talking to from the ref. Melbourne win a free kick but don't do any damage. 1 MIN: And we're away. The Reds kick off - and kick the ball away, In fairness, Iain Ramsey was the target down the left, but he wasn't able to to get to the long pass first. 7pm AEDT TEAMS - Adelaide United v Melbourne Victory Adelaide: Eugene Galekovic (gk), Cassio, Jon McKain, Iain Fyfe, Antony Golec, Marcelo Carrusca, Osama Malik, Evan Kostopoulos, Dario Vidosic, Iain Ramsay, Jeronimo Neumann.

PREAMBLE - Reds face tough ask against red-hot Victory The current fortunes of the two sides couldn't be more different - Melbourne Victory are on a roll as they maintain pressure on league-leading Central Coast, while Adelaide is in disarray. The Reds are still fourth on the ladder, but got thumped 4-2 at home to Western Sydney Wanderers last round - their first game under interim coach Michael Valkanis. They'll need a massive turnaround in performance to stop Victory's Archie Thompson, Marco Rojas and co from similarly lighting up Hindmarsh Stadium. Victory do have some problems though - they're missing Socceroo Mark Milligan and young defender Nick Ansell. Last time these teams met in Adelaide, the Reds romped to a 4-2 win. But the Victory have been on a roll since then. Join us for rolling coverage from 7.30pm AEDT.
