Chances were a rare commodity throughout the match with neither side managing to break the deadlock and the Wanderers forced into the substitution of Pirmin Schwegler.

Brisbane came closest in the first half when Bradden Inman was a millisecond away from knocking Jay O'Shea's cross into the net. 

Robbie Fowler's men were knocking at the door again in the second half when Macaulayn Gillesphey and Daniel Bowles had shots thwarted off the goal line by the Wanderers resilient defence. 

Mat Jurman pulling up with a groin strain sent shivers down Wanderers spines as both sides chased the opening goal, and with Brisbane on top. 

In the end, just over 14,000 fans watched the two sides play out a 0-0 draw which keeps Western Sydney on top of the A-League for the next 24 hours. 

WESTERN SYDNEY WANDERERS

Daniel Lopar - 7

Lopar made a number of saves but his best was a point blank shot from Daniel Bowles following Alex Meier's goal line clearance. 

Daniel Wilmering - 6

The 18-year old sent in a perfectly weighted ball after Max Crocombe's poor goal kick to set up Alex Meier for a chance in the first half. Defensively, Jay O'Shea was teaching him a lesson or two. 

Mat Jurman - 6

There were a few shaky moments where Roy O'Donovan was finding small pockets of space in behind Jurman as well as getting left behind by the Roar attack in link up play. 

Dylan McGowan - 6.5

McGowan had a good game individually with three interceptions, a number of clearances and a good passing rate at 90%. However he and his defence have a lot of work to do to improve their positioning.
