One moment set Adelaide’s Marco Kurz and Victory’s Kevin Muscat on very different paths

Perth Glory move nine points clear at the top of the Hyundai A-League with a 2-0 win over Adelaide United.

Shayon Harrison scored his first goal in the A-League to help Melbourne City to a 2-0 win at the Leichhardt Oval.

Wellington Phoenix put on a show in the first half of their game against Western Sydney Wanderers.

VAR denied Newcastle Jets a point after Ben Kennedy saved a penalty to seal all three points for the Central Coast Mariners.

Marco Kurz’s Adelaide United departure down to a lack of ‘common vision’

Perth Glory move nine points clear at the top of the Hyundai A-League with a 2-0 win over Adelaide United.

Shayon Harrison scored his first goal in the A-League to help Melbourne City to a 2-0 win at the Leichhardt Oval.

Wellington Phoenix put on a show in the first half of their game against Western Sydney Wanderers.

VAR denied Newcastle Jets a point after Ben Kennedy saved a penalty to seal all three points for the Central Coast Mariners.
Departing Adelaide United coach Marco Kurz says there’s no point signing a fresh contract with the A-League club because of a lack of “common vision.”
Kurz’s two-year tenure will end in June after meeting with club chairman Piet van der Pol.
“During my meeting with Piet I realised quickly that we do not have a common vision for the future of Adelaide United,” Kurz said in a statement on Tuesday.
“Our goals are very different and therefore a renewal of my contract does not make sense.”
