The contest sprung to life in the final half-hour with Sydney FC s Rhyan Grant hitting the frame of the goal twice within a matter of minutes at Jubilee Stadium in Sydney.
The Roar, though, had opportunities to snatch a win and further extend their four-match winning streak.
The result lifted Brisbane into second, while Sydney - now with just three wins from six outings - remain fifth having played two matches fewer than their opponents.
A powerhouse Sydney FC triple substitution on the hour mark featuring returning star striker Bobo, Luke Brattan and Alex Baumjohann saw the Sky Blues end the contest with a wet sail, but the Roar defence remained resolute.
Brisbane Roar showed they will be genuine championship contenders this season if their spirited scoreless draw against A-League heavyweights Sydney FC is any gauge.
