All six goals came in a roller coaster second half in which the Reds opened the scoring from the penalty spot but instead twice came from a goal down to level the score.
Papa Diawara netted his first Adelaide goal to break the deadlock following a first half which presented plenty of chances for both sides.
However the lead was short lived when substitute Frederic Mendy netted within five minutes of being on the pitch.
The visitors took the lead with a worldie from their Brazilian import only for the Reds to immediately hit back with a strong header from Sergio Cirio.
The K-League leaders once again went ahead with just six minutes remaining but were again pegged back when Mark Ochieng found the back of the net in sensational fashion barely a minute later.
The Reds had a late chance to win it when Cirio made a weaving run towards goal in stoppage time but he shot over the bar as both sides were forced to settle for a draw.
The result is Adelaide’s first point in Group H and they’ll travel to Korea Republic on MD 4 for what looms as an unmissable return leg.
