League leaders Perth Glory managed to walk away with a point at nib stadium after an incredibly poor display against defending champions Brisbane Roar.
Perth simply looked bereft of any ideas throughout the match and played as if they were a visiting away side. Brisbane just were given too much space, freedom and pace of the game when Perth made a woeful start from the initial kick off.
Even when Brisbane were a man down Perth simply played as if it were they who were playing short and made the task look almost impossible. Despite this painful display they did hit the lead at the break a goal to nil but were lucky to have such a score line.
Typical defensive errors and tentative actions gave Brisbane the equaliser and then minutes later a bullet transition, defensive lapse with a counter gave the visitors a second goal to put them 2-1 up.
Towards the end Perth were picking up but it was too little too late with taking control of the game. A fortuitous cross became a shot which hit the crossbar and then a neat rebound shot to level the score was very impressive. However the league leaders need to dominating and taking control of the game not try and hang on for 90 minutes for dear life.
Once again I did not have any food or drink at the ground due to the insane prices although It would be worth it to have a few drinks at the members bar as it is full flavoured alcoholic beverages that are the same price as weak watered down mid or light strength.
