Unfortunately for Reds captain Eugene Galekovic, his 150th Hyundai A-League game did not produce a fairytale ending.
Galekovic fronted the media prior to the Reds' recovery session at Glenelg to reflect on the 1-0 loss to Brisbane Roar in what was just United's third defeat at home this season.
The Reds now have over a week to prepare for a clash against Melbourne Heart at AAMI Park on March 11.
