Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at AAMI Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Western United FC and Brisbane Roar FC.
- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 10' The referee calls foul for Louis Zabala. He receives a card.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' Brisbane Roar FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 25' James Nikolovski has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 207 appearances.
- 30' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 31' That is a card for Brisbane Roar FC. Jay O'Shea will be fuming at that decision.

- 37' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Jez Lofthouse on 37 minutes.
- 42' Brisbane Roar FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 42.

- 52' Jack Hingert, a Australia , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 57' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
