Brisbane Roar head to the nation’s capital on Sunday afternoon to face Canberra United at McKellar Park, with both sides coming off their first win of the 2026/27 Ninja A-League Women season.
Johnathan Clemente’s side beat Melbourne Victory 2-0 at Gioca Stadium last Saturday. Murphy Agnew opened the scoring in the 36th minute with a left-footed strike from outside the box, then crossed for Maja Markovski to head home in first-half stoppage time. Chloe Lincoln made five saves to keep the clean sheet as the back three of Isabel Hodgson, Hali Long and Rosie Curtis held firm through a second half Victory spent on the front foot.
Canberra also got off the mark last weekend. Emily Condon scored in the 55th minute to give United a 1-0 win over Perth Glory on the road, Perth’s first defeat of the season.
The two sides sit level on three points, with the Roar eighth and Canberra ninth. Canberra have played one fewer match.
The Roar have won the last two meetings between the clubs, 3-1 in Brisbane in January and 2-1 at McKellar Park in April.
