Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at Leichhardt Oval as Sydney FC face off against Brisbane Roar FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sydney FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 10' It looks surprising Brisbane Roar FC does not make any changes. Riku Danzaki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' Brisbane Roar FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 30' Jamie Young has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 208 appearances.
  • 35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 37' Corey Brown is having his name booked by the referee on 37.
  • 42' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 47' 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.
  • 52' Ireland international Jay O'Shea has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 53' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Rhyan Grant.
  • 58' 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' Alexander Baumjohann gets the nod from Sydney FC. He replaces Anthony Caceres and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 61' A tactical swap from Sydney FC — Luke Brattan on, Paulo Retre off on 61 minutes.
  • 62' Riku Danzaki makes way for Golgol Mebrahtu at the 62 minute mark. A tactical switch from Brisbane Roar FC.
  • 66' Kai Trewin is having his name booked by the referee on 66.
  • 71' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 76' 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 Tom Aldred suffering a number of foals already.
  • 77' The Brisbane Roar FC bench stirs into life. Dylan Wenzel-Halls is withdrawn and Joseph Champness gets his opportunity.
  • 82' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 83' Poor challenge from Jesse Daley. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 84' Sydney FC make a change. Kosta Barbarouses trudges off to be replaced by Jordi Swibel on 84 minutes.
  • 89' Jack Hingert has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 90' A change in the Brisbane Roar FC ranks — Scott McDonald exits the field as Joshua Brindell-South enters on 90.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
