Central Coast Mariners
Brisbane Roar
Brisbane Roar dominated possession and created twice as many shots as Central Coast Mariners but were forced to settle for a dramatic 2-2 draw after Jordan Lauton's stoppage-time equalizer. The Mariners' halftime substitutions of Nathanael Blair and Chris Donnell transformed the match, with both players instrumental in the comeback that saw Jesse Mantell level before Blair put the hosts ahead. Despite Brisbane's statistical dominance with 15 shots to 5 and 10 corners, their clinical edge deserted them when it mattered most, missing crucial big chances that would have sealed victory.
