26' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Brisbane Roar FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
31' Sydney FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

60' Brisbane Roar FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Sydney FC backline.
