Brisbane Roar went down 3-1 at the hands of Adelaide United at Marden Sports Complex after a physical contest on Sunday afternoon.
Brisbane Roar had their first chance from Alicia Woods in the 25th minute, after the 21-year-old struck a half-volley on goal that was swept away by the Adelaide goalkeeper.
After a scoreless first half, Mariel Hecher capitalised on a defensive error and opened the scoring in the 52nd minute with a powerful strike into goal.
Adelaide substitute Fiona Worts made an instant impact of the bench after equalising in the 64th minute to make the scoreline even once again.
Worts found her second of the afternoon with a spectacular half-volley in the 86th minute that was too difficult for Keeley Richards to get a hand to.
Deborah-Anne de la Harpe made a foul in the box to give away a penalty for the hosts to seal the three points after Chelsie Dawber converted the kick in the 90th minute.
Brisbane Roar head to the Central Coast to face the Mariners in a week’s time as they look to seal a spot in the finals race.
