Not because we saw another big-time display from fringe Socceroo Craig Goodwin, who chalked up another goal and an assist, or a match-sealing stunner from 18-year-old Bernardo Oliveira, son of former great Cassio, one of the many talents emerging at Adelaide United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it certainly wasn\u2019t for enduring an afternoon exposed to the elements on a typically autumnal day in the South Australian capital, albeit at one of Australia\u2019s best football venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, our luck was that we we actually got to see Kusini Yengi\u2019s goal just after the hour mark that put Adelaide United 2-0 ahead and on track for a showdown with Premiers Melbourne City for a place in this season\u2019s Grand Final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It wasn\u2019t a stunner, nor was it controversial – well, not for anything that happened on the pitch anyway – but it was well constructed and came with a typically brash celebration from the 23-year-old local boy who doesn\u2019t mind playing the role of showman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a goal that reminded us of everything the A-League Men\u2019s should be; one of our country\u2019s best talents serving it up on a plate for an emerging talent who grew up dreaming of playing for his local club. This is the heart of football the world over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
