Nikola Mileusnić struck first for Brisbane Roar in the 27th minute on a feed from Jay O’Shea, then Nikola Mileusnić added another in the 65th minute In the end, Western Sydney Wanderers was frustrated by Brisbane Roar’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Brisbane Roar ended the match with the shutout victory. Brisbane Roar looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10.
