ADELAIDE United and Western Sydney Wanderers' 0-0 draw was marred when Fabio Ferreira was forced off the park with concussion but the aggressor was allowed to stay.
The game swung Wanderers way when star Reds winger Ferreira was smacked off the ball by Wanderers Adam D'Apuzzo at Pirtek Stadium on Saturday.
MATCH REPORT: REDS EXTEND WANDERERS' WINLESS RUN
Before the incident Adelaide was in control.
D'Apuzzo shoulder charged Ferreira in the 20th minute with the ball 10m away when the left back was already on a yellow card for a crude foul on the Portuguese winger just 10 minutes earlier.
Delovski allowed the second cynical foul to pass without another caution leaving D'Apuzzo with a lucky pass to stay on the park before Ferreira looked dazed and lasted until the 31st minute before he left for treatment.
When Jeronimo Neumann was unloaded off the bench to replace Ferreira Wanderers took control of the clash until the half-time break.
Adelaide for all of its possession and movement off the ball troubled Wanderers gloveman Ante Covic into making just one routine save from Bruce Djite's 20m effort before the break as Marcelo Carrusca and Ferreira missed the target despite sublime Reds attacking build ups.
With Wanderers only fielding three starting players that made the midweek AFC Champions League trek to face China's Guizhou Renhe (1-0), the reigning A-League premier struggled to find any consistent rhythm but still managed to trouble the Reds with direct football.
But Carrusca created the game's best chance in the second half.
His brilliant pass inside the box allowed Neumann to open the score but the Argentine sliced his shot wide from 7m with only Covic to beat five minutes after the break.
Right back Jerome Polenz then gave the home side much needed width in the second half as the German made space to pump crosses inside the box but Adelaide dealt with the danger comfortably.
Shannon Cole was then cautioned in the 55th minute for up-ending Carrusca who was on a goalbound run on the flank but Adelaide drew a blank from the angled set piece.
Carrusca had a another opportunity on the hour to force at least a save from Covic but his volley from 7m after Neumann sped past D'Apuzzo to cross the ball inside the box was wide.
With tiring legs changing the pattern of the game Aaron Mooy then forced captain Eugene Galekovic into an easy save with a 25 effort with the Reds stretched in the 65th minute.
But with the game heading for a draw fringe FIFA World Cup Socceroo Michael Zullo was unloaded off the bench to replace Djite as coach Josep Gombau reshuffled his XI to find a winner.
Neumann was shifted to central striker as Zullo became the Reds third right winger in 70 minutes.
But it was Wanderers threatening to score when Mooy had Galekovic scrambling to make a save after 77 minutes after former Red Tomi Juric was thrown into the fray to search for a winner four minutes earlier.
Juric forced Galekovic with a spectacular save in the 90th minute in the last shot on target in the clash.
