What to make of the Brisbane Roar?
Not many would have backed the Roar to defeat the scintillating Reds, but they somehow pulled it off.
Matt McKay, Steven Lustica and Luke Brattan were excellent in the Brisbane midfield, while young defender James Donachie had easily one of his best performances in a Roar shirt.
Interim boss Frans Thijssen seems to have brought some sort of stability to the squad, but the Brisbane still have some way to go before achieving consistency.
