Full Time Seongnam Ilhwa 1 Adelaide United 0
Adelaide United have dropped out of the race for the Asian Champions League following tonight's loss to Seongnam Ilhwa; though their experience is sure to hold them in good stead for their shot next year in the tournament.

United's response came far too late after conceding the first goal on 29 minutes. The side looked strong in patches, with just two clear-cut scoring chances. The home side looked to have done their home work, with key players marked out of the game. Version 3 in the A-League will now be the priority for Vidmar and his men.

HALF TIME Seongnam Ilhwa 1 Adelaide United 0
An uninspiring performance from United so far. Djite has limited opportunites and United has only looked dangerous on perhaps two occassions. The home side are similarly flat, but have been able to increase the pressure almost at will.

Adelaide United will need to take all three points from this crunch game to stay alive during their first tilt to lift the AFC Champions League trophy. Adelaide and their opponents this evening are both sitting on four points - both are currently trailing Shandong Luneng (nine points). Adelaide will have just two matches remaining following the conclusion of this match.

The sides met at Hindmarsh Stadium over two weeks ago; that match ended a 2-2 draw afyer goals from Fernando and Bruce Djite. United held 47% of the possession on that occasion but were frustrated throughout. Four Adelaide players picked up yellow cards (Goulding, Costanzo, Walsh and Cornthwaite).

Seongnam Ilhwa's attackers Mota, Itamar and Sung-kuk Choi will be the biggest dangers.

Aurelio Vidmar is likely to play Adam van Dommele at left back (replacing Aaron Goulding) while Dez Giraldi has again been ruled unavailable through injury.
