Adelaide United vs Melbourne Victory rivalry
Encyclopedia
The Adelaide vs Melbourne rivalry, more commonly known as "The Cross Border Rivalry", is a football (soccer) rivalry between A-league teams Adelaide United
and Melbourne Victory. It is one of the most bitter rivalries in the A-League
and the matches are often filled with controversy. The "Reds versus Blues" contest carries on from a longstanding rivalry between the two states. Despite the relative strength of both teams in the A-League, Adelaide failed to defeat Melbourne Victory in a competitive match from 8 December 2007 to 9 January 2011 when Adelaide United ended their losing run against their rivals with a 4–1 win in Melbourne.
One of the most famous confrontations was between ex-Adelaide United coach, John Kosmina
and Melbourne Victory's captain, Kevin Muscat
. Kosmina grabbed Muscat around the throat in retaliation to being knocked off his chair. In a recent (11/02/2011) article from The Advertiser Muscat took all blame for the incident.
