Brisbane Roar

Outstanding performance
Sydney•GoalkeeperBrisbane Roar dominated proceedings but were left frustrated in a goalless stalemate with Sydney, despite controlling 66% of the match and creating significantly more chances. The hosts peppered Sydney's goal with 11 shots to just one, forcing four saves from the visiting goalkeeper while creating two big chances that went begging. Sydney adopted a defensive approach, sitting deep and looking to hit on the counter, but struggled to create any meaningful attacking threat with just one shot on target all evening. The second half became increasingly fractious with five yellow cards issued, including bookings for Paul Okon-Engstler and Jordan Courtney-Perkins within two minutes of each other, as Sydney successfully frustrated Roar's attacking ambitions to earn a valuable point on the road.
