Ochieng stuns City to lift Adelaide off the bottom

By published

Mark Ochieng's first A-League goal helped Adelaide United spring an upset over Melbourne City.

Adelaide United won just their second game of the season in the A-League, pulling off a shock 2-1 win over Melbourne City.

Bruno Fornaroli's fourth-minute goal - his 11th of the season - looked to have the FFA Cup holders on course for an easy win at Coopers Stadium, but the hosts had other ideas.

Dylan McGowan found space from a free-kick to equalise just six minutes later and Mark Ochieng got off the mark in the A-League in spectacular fashion just three minutes from full-time, picking out the top corner to lift Adelaide off the foot of the table.
