Hyundai A-League goal of the round: Adlung’s missile

Adelaide United’s German star Daniel Adlung has claimed the Hyundai A-League Goal of the Week for Round 7 following his long-range missile against the Mariners.

The midfielder’s audacious strike sparked the Reds’ come-from-behind 2-1 win over Central Coast on Thursday night.

And what a hit it was!

After Central Coast failed to fully clear an Isaias cross, Adlung thumped a first-time bullet from distance which arrowed into the top corner.

The ball flashed into the back of the net before Mariners keeper Ben Kennedy had time to react.

It was Adlung’s first goal in the A-League and second for the Reds after netting another spectacular strike in his side’s FFA Cup Semi-Final win over Western Sydney Wanderers.

The German’s goal took home 55% of the public vote, edging out Newcastle’s Dimi Petratos whose fizzing strike against Sydney FC earned 42% of the total votes.
