Jovanovic levels us up just before half time. He is a fantastic young player. 1-1

Jessie Randall is some player. AFC look slick but they will be unhappy at 1-1 at half time. Cosgrove got the goal but i think he was trying to head back across the goal. Hes got a very poor touch. Unusual signing by AFC

Sakai limps off, maybe a doubt for next Saturday? 0-0

Only following commentary for this one, but how'd that happen? Heavy challenge?

Just getting up and down the pitch. Didn't see anything nasty happen to him.

Hamstring. Off the ball.

What’s happened with the Auckland defense there for the goal? He’s skipped past two- was it both CBs? Or was it Elliot and Hall?

Smart there from Brimmer. Take the foul and try and reset. 

Edit: and that hanging ball at the back post was Rogerson’s last season. Just an example of them not quite on the same wave length yet.

Also not sure  why Adelaide had one of their shorter players marking him.

Yea I'd probably play him up front as All Whites striker in absence of Wood

Must be great to be a Risdon or a Goodwin or any Aussie golden child. 2 meters from the ball studs into ankle and it’s not even a foul.

Yes, Mr Verstaete, Cleevers is one of the worst refs in the competition, correct, and he does play favourites.

Both teams not great. Surprised that Adelaide couldn't find a 2nd goal in that. AFC won't care though 
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

If we win tmr.  Then the Derby.  Top of the table clash.  Means ticket sales will be like selling ice cream to Egyptians.

Closed out solidly. Perhaps they just missed a bit of experience when Adelaide came at them? Gallegos, Howieson and Rogerson added some composure. 
Good shift Cam Elliot.

Now 3-1 to  Sydney! 
All three to Toure. The last two similar counters carried through the centre before releasing Toure on the left. 

Still, 30 minutes to go and this is a team with belief so far the Jets.

Toure gets a hatty, 1-3.

Jets keep turning the ball over with their fullbacks high & it ends with a 3 attacker vs 2 CBs.

Newcastle created several great chances for 3-2, at 4-1 surely it’s goodnight nurse for Mark Milligan and his young gun slingers.

Poor Perth, you have to feel for their fans. 

Heading for the wooden spoon for the third season in a row unless their new head coach is quality, can turn things around.

I think I heard rumors that Kisnorbo and Aloisi could be in the running.

Couple interesting stats that I have only come aware of this week.

Victory haven't scored a goal at Amy Parks for 6 hours and 42 mins now.

And the only goals the Roar have conceded so far this season, are the two we scored vs them.

Call it the 'Greek effect' but Valkanis is going to make sure the Roar are tough to score against.

I wouldn't be rushing to buy a ticket to the Auckland v Brissy game post the FIFA break, or any Roar game for that matter this season.

https://brisbaneroar.com.au/news/roar-boss-highlights-key-issue-we-dont-talk-a-lot-about-in-this-country/

However, despite his side scoring three goals in the dominant victory over the Jets, Valkanis was more impressed with the way in which the Roar were able to completely nullify the opposition when it came to creating any real, clear-cut chances as they secured not just their second win of the season, but also their third clean sheet.

“But I’ve learned in Europe you need to keep clean sheets.

CCM lose, but they had urgency and intensity to try for a third goal to draw the match.  Exactly what our team was missing.
