Football the winner in Adelaide

21,000 rocked the Adelaide Oval last night as United beat Melbourne Victory 2-1.

Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful players on show. Too many to mention but Marvin Angulo for Victory continues to catch the eye.

As did Travis Dodd with his winner - what was Michael Petkovic doing - make that all season.

Great to see the stands rocking and the game flowing, Archie was back, Carlos Hernandez outdone by Marcos Flores, and with Sergio Van Dijk, Lucas Pantelis, Kevin Muscat, Archie Thompson, Iain Ramsey not even in the starting eleven's there is increasing depth and quality about these teams.

Finals football should be fantastic from here on in.

Tonight don't miss the Roar - they're expecting a big crowd and tomorrow check out the Young Guns from the Mariners.

Great stuff - we need more people in the stands but there is enough football quality going around to get any sports fans excited - unless of course you follow cricket and golf - hey chill just my bias!
