Roy O’Donovan and Dimitri Petratos shared the goals for the visitors, with the latter scoring an impressive strike from outside the penalty area.

The Jets now sit in second place on the ladder, while the Roar prop up the table – losing three out of three. 

BRISBANE ROAR

Michael Theo  6.5

There was absolutely nothing Theo could do about Petratos’ strike, but the Brisbane goalkeeper will be disappointed with his performance overall.

Corey Brown 6.5

Brown’s night was cut short by a hamstring injury, early in the second half.

Luke Devere 7

The strongest of the Brisbane defenders on the night, keeping an in-form Roy O’Donovan at arm’s length. Won most of his aerial challenges and lead by example.  

Avraam Papadopoulos 6.5

Completely lost sight of Roy O’Donovan for the opening goal and endured a tireless battle for 90 minutes with the Irishman.

Jade North 6.5

Struggled at right-back, particularly against Ivan Vujica in the opening minutes of the first half. Was probably thankful to be switched to left-back before half-time, where he looked more comfortable away from the threat of the Croat.

Matt McKay 7

The attacking ability in the Newcastle midfield proved to be too much for McKay, who was continuously swamped by the visiting midfield. However, the Brisbane captain pulled the strings when the ball was at his feet and rarely misplaced a pass.
