If anything was to be a tonic for the delayed kick off for the 8,747-strong crowd a storm in Sydney pushing this match back, resulting in it ending at the unsociable hour of 10:30pm local time it was the way Brisbane played in the first half.
Two of the A-League’s form teams go head-to-head as Brisbane Roar and Adelaide United aim to position themselves among the competition frontrunners on Saturday at Dolphin Stadium.
Warren Moon’s Roar have hit their stride and pieced together back-to-back wins to sit three points off the ladder-leading Central Coast Mariners, while Carl Veart’s second-placed Reds can climb to top spot, overnight at least, with a victory.
