In this episode of the Original Rivalry, two bitter enemies went head-to-head for the vital three points at Etihad Stadium on Friday night. The force was with Adelaide United as they kicked off Star Wars Round with a 2-1 win over Melbourne Victory.
Nathan Konstandopoulos - 6.5
Great endurance from the young star, always a pacey threat.
Isaias - 9.5
Outstanding to dictate tempo of the game and was all over the park, covering every piece of grass to defend and attack. Bravo Senor!
Daniel Adlung – 6.5
Silky in midfield as per usual and brilliant on the ball, at the forefront of attack.
Didn’t make too much of an impact in the second-half and was then sent-off with a second yellow after a poor sliding tackle decision.
Nikola Mileusnic - 8.5
Looked very dangerous with his pace down the wing, he was very lively and his passing was at its best.
Had a chance in front of goal to head the ball, but lacked the driving force. Decent chance to beat Williams but the angle was difficult to beat Thomas.
Superb skill from the wing to tee-up Blackwood for the goal. He really ran riot.

Baba Diawara - 7.5
Great connection to header the ball off the post and into the back of the net to deservedly open the scoring. A sweet volley in the 30th minute was a great chance.
Ryan Kitto - 7
Beautiful passing and opened Victory up. Great corner assist for Diawara.
SUBS
George Blackwood - 7.5
Great release to Mileusnic, for a chance. Connected well off of Mileusnic to finish home.
Michael Marrone - N/A
Didn’t do enough to warrant a fair rating. Is welcomed back and is sure to bounce-back next week.
Mark Ochieng - N/A
Didn’t do enough to warrant a fair rating.
