A-League Round 6

The Australian A-League continued last night with the Gold Coast Mariners FC notching a 1-0 win over the New Zealand Knights FC at North Harbour Stadium. An 85th minute Adam Kwasnik penalty gave Central Coast its first success of the Hyundai A-League season at the sixth attempt.

The Newcastle Jets FC host the Perth Glory FC at EnergyAustralia Stadium as round six continues tonight. Neither team has made any impact on the A-League this season with the Jets looking the more likely to become a championship contender since the arrival of Colombian striker Milton Rodriguez. Perth has lost their last two, their only win this season was away to the New Zealand Knights. The Jets are due a change of luck with two draws in their last two contests, if they can keep 11 on the park for the full 90 minutes they should have too much class for the Glory boys here.

The Hyundai A-League continues on Sudnay when the Melbourne Victory FC takes on the Queensland Roar FC at the Telstra Dome. The Victory return to The Dome after attracting 39,000 to their clash against defending A-League champions Sydney FC earlier this month. Five games played and five wins on the board for the Victory will ensure another monster crowd will be in attendance. This will not however be an easy task for the Victory who take on a Queensland Roar outfit yet to taste defeat this season.

Round 6 of the A-League ends with Adelaide United and Sydney FC doingbattle at Hindmarsh Stadium on Monday. Sydney holds sway in the head to head battle thus far but Adelaide has won both home matches comprehensively this season. Sydney is yet to produce their best under new coach Terry Butcher who saw his side post only their second win of the campaign last week against the Glory. Home ground advantage to see Adelaide post another win here.
