Finally! It’s half-time. Might be a good idea to grab a coffee in case this second half is anything like the first. Hopefully both sides are more attacking-minded.
Best chance of that first half fell to Glory’s Sidnei who may have done better to strike on his left foot rather than cut in and attempt on his non-preferred.
Join me back here in 15 minutes for the second half of this pulsating (ahem…) clash between top-of-the-table Roar and cellar-dwellers Perth.

Fair to say this game has failed to reach any great heights so far. Desperately need a goal to liven things up. Crowd looking less than entertained.

Despite Brisbane dominating possession (68%), they have had 0 shots on goal in comparison to Glory’s 4 shots.

Marinkovic finds Sidnei on the break down the left. Not the first time that has happened this game. Franjic needs to remain on his toes with those darting runs from Perth’s no. 16.

One for the blooper reel as Luke Brattan attempts an ambitious strike from 30yds, but ends up skewing it off his boot and high-and-wide over the goal-line for a goal-kick.

Broich fangs in a ball along the ground across goal as Vukovic watches on perilously. All Brisbane needed was a tap-in but Petratos stopped his run at the far-post. Error of judgement there from the youngster.

Bit of a yawn-fest so far with very few chances. Primarily a case of lack of imagination from attacking midfielders rather than solid defending.

William Gallas has run forward and seems to place himself in a striker’s position! Brisbane break on the counter before Gallas hastily makes his way back to help his fellow defenders.

Berisha is starting to see more of the ball but it has not been where Roar fans want it to be – near their attacking goal!

There’s only been four goals in the last five outings between these two sides, and from what we’ve seen so far, it doesn’t look like that tally will be added to any time soon!

Perth really struggling to gain possession of the ball. Brisbane undoubtedly controlling the game at the moment, but failing to create clear-cut chances so far.

Jacob Burns gives a free kick away against, guess who, Besart Berisha. Did look like the Albanian fell over quite easily there, only metres away from his controversial “dive” in the 2012 Grand Final against the same opponents. Petratos stands over the free kick on the edge of the box …. the shot can’t stay down and glides comfortably over the crossbar.

Gee, Petratos is an exciting player, isn’t he? Dances around in the Perth box and it seems to open up for him for a moment, but the Glory defence does well to shut down the danger and Vukovic claims.

Sidnei has looked the liveliest for Perth so far in this match. Brisbane will need to check his runs closely.

Brisbane are moving the ball around well but haven’t been able to get it to Berisha or fellow frontmen.

Marinkovic free-kick has too much on it and Theo comes out for a regulatory catch with his outstretched hands. Been a fairly even game so far. A couple of decent chances for both sides.

Decent strike from Petratos but his shot is curling away from goal and doesn’t trouble Vukovic as it flies across his goal.

Brisbane fans singing “Can you hear the Glory sing?”. Bit bizarre given there’s only about 20 Perth fans there who have made the effort to travel from one corner of Australia to the other!

Yellow card for Marinkovic for booting the ball away after Brisbane earn a free kick in the midfield. Needless stuff there from the Serbian.

Off and underway here in the second half, and already a slight bit of entertainment with Rostyn Griffiths going into the referee’s book with a clumsy challenge on Matt McKay.
