Aussie teams off to a flier in Asian Champions League
A-League representatives, Melbourne Victory and Adelaide Utd have both made winning starts to their ACL campaigns with solid 2-0 victories.
These results put them at the top of their group tables.
Melbourne coach Ernie Merrick is confident his players can continue their fantastic start in their next match against Chonburi of Thailand.
Adelaide on the other hand were drawn to play away to Korean side Pohang Steelers. Their 2-0 upset victory was made even more sweet as they were forced to play with 10 men for half the game due to the send off of Jonas Salley.
Robert Cornthwaite and Bruce Djite put away the goals on the nigh. Pohang had many chances to get on the scoreboard but they hit the bar 3 times.
Adelaide’s next match is at home against Chinese champion Changchun Yatai.
