The AFC Cup continues to provide Central Coast Mariners with some much-needed relief from their A-League woes.
The Mariners secured a third successive AFC Cup win on Wednesday night with a 2-1 victory in Indonesia over Bali United. Alou Kuol and Marco Tulio were the goalscorers for the Group G leaders, who took another step towards the next round of competition with their maiden win in Asian competition outside of Australia.
