What a night to be a Red. Against the odds, Adelaide United put in a dominant first half performance to walk away 3-1 winners at Hindmarsh against Wellington Phoenix.
WORST
STAMPING STAMATOPOULOS

You'd think two goals would be enough to get you on the best of the match, right?
The Western United-bound tongue twister's two strikes, the first of which was admittedly a thumping finish, are definitely enough to get Kopzcynski into the bad books.
But the Reds' striker's brain fade in the shape of a terrible challenge on Mandi - not the first on the Spaniard this season - studs in right on the ankle, single-handedly earns him the worst rating.
Something tells us he can expect a lot worse from Marco Kurz though, the famously fiery German gaffer looked like he was about to blow his top when the red ticket emerged...
MICHAL KOPCZYNSKI'S DEFENDING
We were singing his praises mid-week when he came out and said how much fun the A-league was compared to his native Ekstrakalasa with Polish giants Legia Warsaw. But he's possibly having a little too much fun if he thinks that defensive performance was up to this league's standards...
Both goals were directly his fault. The first, he allows Michael Marrone to simply walk towards the post then drop off and with a nudge, put Kopczysnki right out of the action to nod in. Hopeless.
The second wasn't much better, both Wellington centrehalves at fault as Stamatopoulos - hardly an unknown quantity after scoring moments earlier - just strolled into the middle to head in directly in front. It's no wonder no club in the A-League has conceded more goals from corners than Wellington (five).
Once again, you have to feel sorry for the bloke. If you saw Mark Rudan's expression as the equally fiery gaffer stormed down the touchline, being on our worst of the match isn't your biggest worry...
