Please refresh the page now and then. Live coverage of Tianiin vs Central Coast Mariners in the Asian Champions League.
That's all from me, I hope you enjoyed this, drop us some tweets, and some comments, and let us know you love us! :) Bye guys!
93 Minutes - And there's the final whistle. 0-0 here, but by no means a boring match. A good start for the Aussies, an away point in their first group match, and they already have half the point total they amassed in 2009, where they picked up just 2 points in their campaign.
92 Minutes - McBreen is off. Bit of time wasting here, Troy Hearfield is on for the final...20 seconds?
92 Minutes - Man, if he allowed that to roll onto his left foot, that was a goal, not sure why he took it so early with his right. 40 seconds left. Tianjin pressing.
91 Minutes - The homeside desparately trying to push for a goal, but being blocked at every turn. Rogic plays a neat little ball to BcBreen to Ibini-Isei who is in space...But he's fluffed it! Straight at the keeper. He should have done MUCH better there!
89 Minutes - Mariners keeping possession. 3 minutes of added time.
88 Minutes - Every time McBreen gets on the ball he loses it. Get him off now. Also, it turns out Zwaanswijk didn't actually touch the ball. Nowhere near it. The ball went off at an angle that looked like he'd touched it though. Tianjin will definitely use that as an excuse if they dont get the points here today.
87 Minutes - ...is cleared, and Tianjin Teda break, but Hui Jin Kang allows the ball to roll out. But Tianjin break again and he's pulled down by Zwaanswijk! Penalty cries from all around the pitch, but the referee says no. And it's a good call, the tackle was inch perfect.
86 Minutes - ...out for another Corner...which...
86 Minutes - Rogic needs to learn to use his right foot. He keeps getting in fantastic positions where he could whip in a ball, or play a neat little through ball to a player, but it's always on his right. Also, great play now from Bernie Ibini-Isei, and a corner....
85 Minutes - Zwaanswijk clears after yet another Tianjin cross. They're really going for it, both sides. Quite an entertaining game.
83 Minutes - McBreen has a crack at goal after the ball somehow wormed its way to him. Testing the goalkeeper, who was more than up to the challenge.
82 Minutes - I'm wondering why they took off their captain, Wang. Aside from providing me with a few laughs, he's also been their main man, a very good technical player. Also, Tianjin now have 7 fouls to Central Coast's 18. Foulers.
81 Minutes - Tianjin break after Josh Rose loses the ball in their half. Mao crosses in, but there's nobody in the box and Pedj Bojic is able to clear.
79 Minutes - Great ball in from...OK, I'm not even going to pretend to know what his name is, a winger for the Chinese side, but Wang...NO THEY JUST SUBBED HIM OFF!...Wang whipped the ball widlly over the bar. Mao Biao (what a name). Cao has taken the Captain's armband...maybe we should get someone watching the Chinese league, this is fantastic.
78 Minutes - If you're watching this, don't be afraid to comment! Or post to me on Twitter @Dukey42 or @Firstflightfoot :)
77 Minutes - Rogic, the sole left footer, is unfortunately caught on the right flank so despite a promising run, he is unable to get a cross off. It's all Mariners at the moment in these final 15 or so minutes.
76 Minutes - ...it's headed away. Mariners still pressing now, they usually seem to have 2 players in the gap in the middle, if they could just get the ball to one of them, they could quite easily get a goal. Bernie Ibini-Isei is coming on for Adam Kwasnik. Graham Arnold is obviously making sure Kwasnik isn't sent off, he's been conceding a fair few free kicks thus far.
75 Minutes - Oooh! Rogic is on the field! He's exciting. He's won a corner too. And....
74 Minutes - Yes, that meant my internet went bad and I couldn't see. But the score is still 0-0 and I don't see any one missing.
HT - 70 Minutes - Nothing of note has happened. Trust me.
44 Minutes - Free kick finally taken, thumped at the wall. Mariners counter, Mustafa Amini breaks down the left and back to Joshua Rose, but it's headed away by Gowan and cBreen, who tried to bulldoe his way through is stopped in his tracks. Mike McGlinchley is still pressing, but the ball is eventually cleared for a Tianjin counter. Chien and Wang, who both recieve massive roars, nearly sculpt a goal, but to no avail, the ball goes out for a corner which is cleared. And now it's Half Time. Time for something to eat!
42 Minutes - Maltese Hutchinson is given a warning over a high boot. A green laser pen is also being shone in the eyes of keeper Ryan. Slight delay while they try to find the culprit.
40 Minutes - Wang finds himself in some space and tries an audacious volley which flies just over the bar. He's quite technically gifted, this Wang.
38 Minutes - Former York, Scunthorpe and St Johnstone man McBreen is really struggling in midfield for Mariners. His link up play hasn't been good enough and he hasn't been holding the ball up well either.
37 Minutes - Great route one ball from Chien over to Dutchman Ars, but the Tianjin man was just offside
36 Minutes - One of these Tianjin players, Wi Li, apparently played for Everton, one match in 2002 but was sold after the World Cup in Japan/Korea that year.
35 Minutes - In case you're wondering, Tianjin have 4 fouls to Mariners 7. Wow.
34 Minutes - Bozanic, Kwasnik and Amini are looking quite dangerous up front. I shouldn't be giggling every time the commentator says Ars or Wang.
30 Minutes - Ball rolled into Ars and droped for Chien who had Tianjin's first real chance of the game. But Ryan stayed strong and the ball bounced off his knee. Good keeping from the Olyroo.
27 Minutes - The whistle had already gone for a handball, but that didn't stop Bozanic smashing a thunderous shot against the crossbar. First real time the keeper has been tested and he was nowhere near it.
25 Minutes - Amini tries a cross but it can't get through to Kwasnik in the middle again. Central Coast definitely picking up pace.
22 Minutes - Wilkinson finds Kwasnik in the box with a decent cross, but the Aussie just can't get the space to get the shot off.
21 Minutes - The game has quietened down a tad now. Crowd is keping it alive though.
18 Minutes - Tianjin are genuinely giving the Mariners a tough time now, some mazy runs down the left, but Ryan is standing strong and not letting anything through.
16 Minutes - Central Coast applying pressure now, long throw in into the box is cleared though.
12 Minutes - Mariners - specifically Kwasnik - seem to be conceding a lot of fouls at the moment. They need to calm down.
10 Minutes - The commentator said "dangerous Wang". Don't expect much typing in the next few minutes, I'm in stitches.
8 Minutes - Wang fires high after a brilliant cross from Liwe on the wing. First moment of panic for the Mariners, but goalkeeper Ryan is untroubled.
6 Minutes - An interception in midfield sets through Central Coast, but Liwe of Tianjin has taken some studs to the ankle and the ball is hurried out of play.
5 Minutes - This seems a very open game so far, both sides playing it around the park trying to find a weak point in their opponents to exploit. The Chinese side are looking quite shaky at the back
3 Minutes - Central Coast have their next attack quickly cut out, and a Tianjin counter attack is stopped only iside the penalty area by Zwaanswijk.
1 Minute - Central Coast have their first meaningful attack, Bozanic fires high from quite far out. Not too sure whether he genuinely thought he could make it.
0 Minutes - The game has kicked off
