FULL TIME
93 The full-time whistle goes and it's been exhausting for the players, fans and me. Excellent game...
92 Giraldi tries to curl one in from nothing but it's clutched safely by the keeper. At the other end, Mota lets loose but it's high and wide.
91 Meaga claims for a penalty as he goes down in the Reds box but it's waved away by the ref. Reds on the counter but the ball is again too close to the keeper.
90 Three minutes extra time - Dodd looks tired as he is two on two in the seongnam half but gives the Koreans time to get back. Seongnam counter almost immediately amd Mota strikes high.
90 Hearts fluttering in Hindmarsh as a worrying ball flashes across the Reds goal but ends up harmlessly going wide.
89 Reds still keeping their shape well and pushing into the Seongnam box whenever they get the chance but just unable to get past the Korean keeper.
88 Djite left alone upfront and tries his luck but it's into the sidenetting.
87 Fabulous challenge by Valkannis in the box saves the Reds, but the clearance doesn;t go far enough. Luckily it ends in Bajics hands though.
86 Mota booked for a theatrical dive outdside the Reds box.
84 Burns to Spag puts the ball into the box but Burns can't make the move stick. Seongnam counter but Adelaide snuff out the attack and counter. Frantic now...
83 Big challenge by Valkanis puts a Seongnam player on a stretcher. Adelaide sub Diego off, Giraldi on. Seongnam are down to 10 at the moment.
82 Seognnam find space again and a wonderful ballbeats the offside trapand Seongnam are clear through on goal but Bajic comes out to claim it well.
81 Spag on the left puts a good ball in towards Djite but it's cleared. Reds fighting back here.

79 Adelaide are still hopeful of their own winner though and making ambitious drives into the Seongnam half.
77 Seongnam are looking for a win and pressing hard on the Adelaide defence. It's fraught for Adelaide at the moment.
76 Seongnam sub: Shuncuk off, Meaga on.
75 GOAL! Mota strikes a sweet goal from the edge of the box after Adelaide gave him too much time and space.
74 I'm going to just type Spag from now on, okay?
73 Adelaide sub: Fernando off, Spagnulo on.
72 Diego steals the ball, passes to Fernando and the ball into Djite should have been a goal but just doesn't connect well.
71 Promising move is defeated by the speed of the pass from Travis Dodd to Cornthwaite on the right wing.
70 Adelaide sub - Cornthwaite on, Alagich off.
69 Seongnam were 4 against 3 but the Reds still beat them off and clear the ball to launch a counter, but the ball goes harmlessly into touch.
68 Seongnam back on attack again but they're not penetrating the Adelaide backline.
66 Djite plays a lovely ball to Burns who's first touch lets him down, but he picks out Djite but it's too far behind him and the shot goes awry.
65 Injury to Choi has stopped play- he took a blow to the back in a rough challenge.
63 Another Seongnam sub - they're looking for goals and a win, not a draw.
62 Djite plays a lovely ball back at Dodd's head but he can't quite connect and it glances past the goal.
60 Seongnam are piling on the pressure with two chances in as many minutes but Adelaide are holding firm so far. The action is all around the Adelaide box now.
59 Seongnam with their first corner but Costanzo clears. It's put back in the box but Rees slices a clearance and tempers are fraying in midfield. Diego gets a yellow for a hard tackle on Park Jin Sub. A strong shot is saved nicely by Bajic.
57 Lummy. This is hard work. Constanzo ends a Seongnam attack with a professional foul and earns a yellow. Luckily, the pace has just gone out the game and everyone is taking a breather after the flurry of goals.
56 GOAL! Seongnam strike back immediately...Adelaide defences were down and Seongnam stroke it past Bajic who just gets his fingertips to it.
55 GOAL! Djite scores a cracker. Cross from the left finds Dodd in the box who knocks it back to Djite, who controls it on his thigh then lets the volley smack into the net. Lovely, lovely, lovely...
54 Djite strips the ball from Seongnam's defence and lets fly but lacks direction. It's end to end stuff now. Oh yes.
53 Quick Seongnam free kick is launched into the Reds box and a glancing header goes well wide from Mota. Adelaide relaxed for a second there and almost paid the price.
51 Alagich on the right gets out of trouble nicely, finds support and the ball ends at the feet of Costanzo who plays a defender's shot over the bar.
50 Adelaide looking much stronger and determined. Snuffed out Seongnam attack and once again countered well but Seongnam put an end to the move.
49 Great play from Djite coming in from the right but the finish from Fernando is just wide. Much better attacking football from Adelaide.
48 GOAL! Fernando scores. Beautifully worked goal from down the left, into to Djite who passes into the path of Fernando who strokes it home from just inside the box. Adelaide's first goal at home in Asia and it's a nice one.
47 Adelaide run down the right wing again but Alagich fluffs the cross from good position.
46 Adelaide restart. Fernando tries to drive one in from long-range but it's blocked. Confident start at least...
46 And we're back...Well, I am and Adelaide are but Seongnam are taking their time in re-appearing... Seongnam sub: Itamar's gone off, Kim Dong Hun is on.

18 A great ball into the Seongnam box misses Djite but finds Fernando's head but there's just not enough power and direction to beat the keeper.
17 A great run down the right wing by Seongnam gets a ball into the six yard box but Seongnam's Itamar gets it all wrong when it would have been easier to score.
16 It's a tight match with honours even so far although Seongnam probably have a slight edge and looking more dangerous. Adelaide looking strong in defence so far though
15 Another Seongnam attack is snuffed out with a strong challenge on the edge of the box and Valkanis cleans up
13 Seongnam on the break but it's stopped well. A great cross from Seongnam finds Mota's head but it's just wide. An escape for the Reds
