0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between Melbourne City FC and Brisbane Roar FC.
5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
15' Brisbane Roar FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
20' Brisbane Roar FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
25' Brisbane Roar FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
27' Rostyn Griffiths doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
32' 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 Jacob Pepper suffering a number of foals already.
37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Brisbane Roar FC that had 208 games and scored 250 goals.

67' Fresh legs for Brisbane Roar FC! Nicholas D'Agostino comes on to replace Eli Babalj.
68' The supporters are chanting for Lachlan Wales. He replaces Shayon Harrison on 68 minute.
70' The deadlock is broken! Ritchie De Laet gets on the scoresheet on 70 minutes.
75' Ritchie De Laet is having his name booked by the referee on 75.
