FULL TIME: Persik Kediri 2 Sydney FC 1
Sydney may have been shocked by the standard of opposition but the mid-morning clash took its toll on their fitness...and wasn't helped by Zadko's dismissal on the hour mark. This wasn't Sydney's finest hour compared to their two previous ACL outings and they will rue squandering their chances in the first half.
95 An optimistic ball into the Persik box is clutched gratefully by the Persik keeper...and it's all over. Sydney go down 2-1 and have their work cut out to now win the group.

93 Persik counter and through on goal but Tsattalios makes a great challenge to recover the ball.

91 Five minutes of extra time.

Half-time
Sydney will be grateful for the half-time whistle. The heat appeared to be getting to them, and Persik are proving far more of a handful than they might have expected. The second half could be a challenge for the Aussies, and Culina needs to have some serious words with the defence in the dressing room. Upfront, Sydney may have squandered a couple of chances but Corica's goal has kept them in the game. Carney's booking means he misses the next game...and they will seriously miss him.
45+1 Persik counter but it's snuffed out. Sydney attack once more but Carney is offside, kicks the ball away in anger and is booked.

O mins We're off.
Persik appear to have borrowed Perth Glory's strip. Line-up: Sandy, Iba, Indarto, Zainuri, Putra, Gonzalez, Harianto, Prasetiya, Kurniawan, Fagundez, Danilo.
It's looking good for a game today - the pitch is dry(ish) but looks ready to cut up pretty quickly. It's 32C and humidity is 75 percent, even though it's just 10.30am local time.
Everyone got their sandwiches ready (toasted focaccia for those of you in Melbourne)? Okay - kick-off is fast approaching and hopefully we'll have a Persik team sheet shortly. And a weather report
Last night's line-up for Sydney (before the match was postponed) was:
Bolton, Fyfe, Rudan (c), Talay, Zadkovich, Zdrilic, Corica, Hyphen, Carney, Brosque, McFlynn
and it's unlikely to change today. Hopefully the weather has though.
