Brisbane opened the scoring through Henrique, following Eric Beautheac's square ball into the penalty area, for the Slippery Fish to finish with aplomb. 

Andrew Hoole's miss summed up the Mariners' season, after his free-kick hit the underside of the bar but failing to cross the goal-line.

Alan Baro couldn't equalise after heading over the woodwork from the rebound. 

Brisbane should have had a penatly, but either way, both sides were unable to finish and the hosts hung on to the important three points.

Brisbane Roar

Jamie Young (GK) - 7

Bailed out his defence with a fantastic save to deny Pain. Wasn't overly threatened due to the Mariner's poor execution.

Jack Hingert - 7.5

Brilliant vision to deliver the through ball for Bautheac in the lead-up to the goal. Provided more great passes throughout the match.

Jacob Pepper - 6.5

Broke up promising attack, read play well.

Daniel Bowles - 7

Made key interceptions and clearances

Ivan Franjic - 7.5

Had a sluggish start but improved impressively. Was solid in defence and great in attack also, with a low shot that copped an unlucky deflection.
