HALF TIME.
Exciting first half. City were all over Brisbane in the early stages but Brisbane have managed to get a better hold of possession and have created some good chances for themselves. Brisbane not out of it yet but will need a goal very soon before they run out of energy. If City make it 2-0 after the break you feel it would be all over for Brisbane. City have had the better of the chances of the half and will hope to seal the win soon.
