Adelaide defeat North Queensland in Black





Adelaide United donned a new black kit on Sunday, as they defeated A-League cellar dwellers North Queensland 2-0 at Dairy Farmers Stadium.

Going into the game as favourites, the Fury were looking for just their second ever win, but they were denied the chance to rocket up the table thanks to two superb strikes in the second half.

Lucas Pantelis scored in the 60th minute, as Fury Goal-keeper Paul Henderson gifted him, kicking it straight to Travis Dodd who passed it to the rampant Pantelis who finished it off with a superb strike.

The second goal came in injury time when second-gamer Matthew Leckie scored one of the Reds goals of the season after coming off the bench and twisting and turning through the Fury defence and calmly slotting the goal.

Adelaide United really have to praise goal-keeper Eugene Galekovic after numerous superb saves to keep United in the contest.

Fury striker Daniel McBreen was lucky not to score on numerous occasions and frustration started to show with the Fury as referee Chris Beath lost his patience and handed out 3 yellow cards to the the home team.

This Monday Adelaide face Newcastle at Hindmarsh Stadium.

Crowd: 6745
Goals: Pantelis 60', Leckie 90+2'
Bookings: Fowler 50', Wilson 58', Hingert 79', Dodd (Adelaide) 88'
