Fornaroli Double secures win for City

Melbourne City 2 (Fornaroli 11', Fornaroli 26')

Adelaide United 1 (Guardiola 64')

Adelaide have suffered their third straight defeat, this time on the back of a double from Melbourne City captain and goal scoring star Bruno Fornaroli.

Some sloppy defending cost Adelaide early with Fornaroli scoring in the 11th minute.

Then during the 56th minute City were given a penalty which Fornaroli converted to give them a 2-0 lead.

Adelaide made a late charge thanks to Sergi Guardiola who headed in a Ben Garuccio pass.

Adelaide will now play Central Coast Mariners at Hindmarsh Stadium next Sunday afternoon.
