0' KICK OFF: Brisbane Roar FC gets underway.
5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
14' Ola Toivonen makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Melbourne Victory FC are in front.
19' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
24' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Kosta Barbarouses suffering a number of foals already.
29' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
34' Brisbane Roar FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Melbourne Victory FC's shape.
39' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
44' Leigh Broxham has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
48' Against the run of play, Kosta Barbarouses has scored! This game has turned on its head.
53' Australia international Stefan Nigro has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
58' The supporters are chanting for Raul Baena. He replaces Rahmat Akbari on 58 minute.
63' The whistle greets Luke De Vere as he departs to be replaced by Dylan Wenzel-Halls.
65' A goal from the New Zealand international Storm Roux! He fires home on 65 to make it 0-3!
68' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Stefan Nigro.
72' Kosta Barbarouses with the second goal in the match!
73' Another change for Melbourne Victory FC made on 73 minute. Ola Toivonen leaves to be changed by Elvis Kamsoba.
76' The Brisbane Roar FC manager makes a substitution. Nicholas D'Agostino departs to be replaced by Henrique Silva.
81' The whistle greets Eric Bautheac as he departs to be replaced by Aaron Reardon.
86' Brisbane Roar FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
87' Brilliant from the ! Kosta Barbarouses makes it 0-5 with a superb finish on 87.
