- Early in the second half, Newcastle Jets striker Will Dobson missed a chance to level the score with an inaccurate lob over Roar keeper Dean Bouzanis.
Contested Goal and Final Score
With 20 minutes remaining, substitute Henry Hore appeared to have scored a second goal for Brisbane Roar, but it was ruled out due to an offside on Michael Ruhs earlier in the play.
