Brisbane Roar clinched a 1-0 victory over Adelaide United in humid conditions at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night, after a fairly dominant performance.
Adelaide United
Paul Izzo (GK) – 6
Palmed away a few of Brisbane’s shots in the first half. Conceded the direct free-kick but made a great double-save near the end of the match to keep it at 1-0.

Ryan Strain- 3
Read play well to win the ball in the early minutes, but gave away the free-kick on the edge of the box that led to a goal. Due to his booking, was subbed-off at the break.
Jordan Elsey - 5.5
Calm and collected in passing and tackling. But contributed to allowing Maccarone a chance. Is usually a lot better than what he was tonight.
Ersan Gulum - 5
Regained shape and positioning to clear balls in the area. Needed to do better in times of danger where the ball was in the area and apply more pressure
Ben Garuccio - 4.5
Made a few good plays but was outrun and outplayed for most part.
