ALW R12 Match Wrap: Brisbane Roar 2-3 Adelaide United

Brisbane Roar suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of the fourth-placed Adelaide United in their return to Perry Park on Sunday evening.

Most of the first-half remained scoreless with both sides evenly-matched until Adelaide United opened the scoring in the 42nd minute with Chelsea Dawber executing a turn-and-shoot goal towards the top right corner past the hands of Olivia Sekany.

The Freier twins showcased a brilliant opportunity in the 31st minute when Laini Freier lobbed the ball in for Sharn to attempt a header on goal but Adelaide goalkeeper Jenkins denied the chance.

Roar were quick to respond just moments later, with a spectacular strike from midfielder Alicia Woods into the top of the net to mark her first ever Ninja A-League goal.

Adelaide United came out firing after the break with the Reds capitalising on a relaxed Roar defence for Erin Healy to extend their lead to 2-1.

In the 72nd minute, Chelsie Dawber scored her second of the night to hand Adelaide a comfortable lead with a header off a set-piece corner.

Roar captain Tameka Yallop’s determination shone through after scoring a header off a brilliant cross in from Mariel Hecher in an effort to put the hosts back in the match, but ultimately Adelaide were the ones to secure three points at Perry Park.

Brisbane Roar will be given a tough challenge when they travel across the country to face Perth Glory next weekend.
