In a heated encounter, Adelaide United emerges victorious over Brisbane Roar, with Halloran scoring two goals to secure a 2-1 win.
In a thrilling A-League encounter, Adelaide United emerged victorious against Brisbane Roar, securing a 2-1 victory. The match was marked by a series of dramatic moments, including a controversial sending-off and an altercation between the opposing coaches.
The game began with both teams showing their attacking intent. Ken Ilso and Regan hit the post and crossbar respectively for Adelaide United, while Adam Taggart had a clear chance to put Brisbane Roar ahead but failed to convert. However, it was Henrique who opened the scoring for Brisbane Roar, capitalising on a centre from Dylan Wenzel-Halls.
Adelaide United responded fiercely, with Ben Halloran equalising just before half-time, scoring from Goodwin's low cross. The 43rd-minute goal was followed by a tense moment as Stefan Mauk was involved in an altercation with Taylor Regan. The incident left Goodwin briefly unconscious on the turf, and Regan was later sent off after a VAR review for gouging Mauk.
The Brisbane players responded angrily to Elsey's actions, and the opposing coaches, John Aloisi and Marco Kurz, had to be separated on the sidelines. Adelaide United capitalised on their advantage, scoring a second goal four minutes after half-time, although the scorer was not specified.
Despite Brisbane Roar's efforts to mount a comeback, they were unable to find the net again. Taggart left the game due to a groin injury, which further hampered their chances. Adelaide United held on to their lead, closing out the victory and moving two points behind A-League leaders Perth Glory.
The result marks an important step for Adelaide United in their pursuit of the A-League title, while Brisbane Roar will be left to reflect on a game that slipped away due to a series of controversial incidents.
