ANOTHER close range chance for Brisbane. They just CAN’T get that final touch to direct it into the goal. So so close from a brilliant cross.

If they can manage it, Luke Brattan will be the one who clinches or sets up the equaliser for the Roar.

Henrique now with the shot on goal! Should have gotten that. He had only the keeper to beat but tried the volley as the ball bounced in front of him. Poorly controlled it floated well over the goal.
89 minutes gone. Ulsan still lead 2-1.

Broich goes close off the Brattan cross. Maybe should have collected it with his right then shoot with his left. Took on first touch however and was deflected for a corner.

Anyone else think the ref’s hair belongs on the set of the Sopranos or something? Brilliant volume!

Jaesoo on for Ulsan.
Moments later Brattan is absolutely collected from behind by Ho. Roar players really wearing emotions on their sleeve.
Adnan takes the free from 25m out but floats it way to high.
84 Minutes gone
Ulsan lead Brisbane 2-1.

More drama in Brisbane. Play continued with ref’s back on the Ulsan player lying on the ground cramping. Then as the ref turned to attend to the player behind him a bit of harsh words were shared (probably none of which were understood by the opposing players) involving Adnan, Franjic firing up at the time wastage and diving.

Sad thing about that penalty is it TOTALLY overshadowed Luke Brattan’s blistering strike that took a deflection to rattle the crossbar. The deflection however led to the counter from Ulsan and ensuing penalty.

Nichols off, Meyer on.
Broich had a free on the corner of the box, but it was headed over the pack safely fr Ulsan. Goal kick contentious though. Crowd still blowing up about the penalty. But that looked pretty clear cut for me.
Was it a penalty you reckon?

The Ulsan captain Taehwi converts from the spot, with a cheeky shimmy sending Theoklitos the wrong way.

Minsoo clearly clipped right on the shins by the long-legged Bahraini Mo Adnan. Penalty award by ref Torki Mohsen.

OH SO CLOSE FOR BRISBANE!!!!! LUKE BRATTAN HITS THE POST THEN BAM! PENALTY UP THE OTHER END FOR ULSAN!

This is a very tight tussle here in this second half. Both sides with their chances on the break. Majority of possession with Brisbane for sure, but it’s holding onto it which is becoming difficult. Even their best guys, like Broich and Henrique have been found out.

Luke Brattan on, Massimo Murdocca off.

Matty Smith calms a serious counter attack by Ulsan Hyundai by thumping away a cross that found the Roar defence WELL outnumbered.

AWESOME STRIKE FROM KEUNHO! Luckily for Brisbane it hit the crossbar! Followed closely by the WORST DIVE EVER. So blatantly diving, the ref gave Brisbane a free.

Wow, REALLY off topic! But cheers for the info!

Henrique setting up a very good cross for Berisha, but the international signing just hesitated too long.

Theoklitos got away with a bit of a iffy situation. Should have puched away the floating cross from Ulsan, let it go over his head thinking it would go out. But it fell to the opposing player who just missed the goal! Near miss.

Ulsan have the ball in the right pocket within Roar territory. They’ve just won a corner.

Ulsan Hyundai players taunting The Den by bowing and clapping them as the visitors are ferociously booed along with the ref.
