A terrific defensive performance from Central Coast Mariners will lead to Brisbane Roar ruing their missed chances in a riveting 1-1 draw at Suncorp Stadium.
BRISBANE ROAR
Jamie Young - 6
There wasn't much for Jamie Young to do while Connor Pain finished past him in the fourth minute and he watched in horror as Pain's long range effort cannoned off the post but luckily not into the net.
Jack Hingert - 5
Poor communication with Jacob Pepper allowed Tommy Oar to cause serious problems for the Brisbane defence.
Avraam Papadopoulos - 6
Papadopoulos couldn't threaten from set pieces for Brisbane and jockeyed Pain till he finished in the third minute.
Jacob Pepper - 6
Besides an unnecessary yellow card Pepper didn't have to deal with much from the Mariners as Brisbane were on top for almost the entire match.
Connor O'Toole - 5.5
Caught way out of position as the Mariners counter-attack took advantage of the space in the right channel that was left vacant by the young left-back.
Thomas Kristensen - 5
Kristensen's passing was uncharacteristically off target as Brisbane seemed to play more direct against the Mariners.
Stefan Mauk - 5.5
Mauk's hesitation cost Brisbane the chance to draw level as two opportunities passed him by to slam home the equaliser in the first half. A shot turned assist for Taggart for Brisbane's equaliser.
