Adelaide United give 4-1 footballing lesson to Binh Duong

NATHAN Burns has single handedly put Vietnamese side Binh Duong to the sword earlier tonight by setting up 3 goals with an amazing individual display at Hindmarsh Stadium. All 5 goals were scored in the 2nd half after a first half dominated by Adelaide.

Man of the math Burns set up 3 goals in just 6 second-half minutes to kill off the Vietnamese Champions in front of almost 14,000 fans.

Travis Dodd scored a couple of goals while Lucas Pantelis finished off the first goal of the night thanks to Nathan Burns.

Minh Duc Pham scored a fine goal from just inside the big box to give Binh Duong some hope but Diego put the icing on a fine performance by pouncing on a error by Duc Pham midway through the second half.

The Reds are now outright leaders in their group by 2 points as Chanchun Yatai could only muster a 2-2 draw with the Pohang Steelers of Korea.
