Before Sunday’s A-League grand final, Brisbane Roar has a job to do when they host Ulsan Hyundai in a match that will be pivotal to their Asian Champions League hopes. We’ll have live scores and blog from 7.30pm AEST.

Halfway through the group stage of the Asian Champions League, two points from three matches would not be were Ange Postecoglou envisioned his side going into the tournament.

The measure, patient football that has made the Roar famous in the A-League has simply not worked on the bigger stage, with experienced sides knowing how to wait, and break down the play at opportune times.

It’s a Catch-22 for Ange Postecoglou tonight. Anything but a win will nearly spell the end of the ACL campaign, yet the temptation will be to rest the likes of Broich and Nichols with Sunday’s grand final in mind.

Ulsan come into this one sitting second in the group and fourth in the K-League, having lost once in their past ten matches.

The two sides met only a fortnight ago in Ulsan and despite losing defender Matt Jurman to a straight red in the first half, Brisbane battle valiantly to gain a well-earned point, and a repeat performance here could be enough to seize all three points.

Can the Roar keep their ACL dream alive? Join us from 7.30pm AEST as we cover the game live from Suncorp Stadium and if you’re watching, leave us your thoughts below.
