Brisbane Roars Back To Land Berth In Grand Final

At Brisbane, Australia:


Thomas Boich (63') and Henrique (90'+1) enabled the Brisbane Roar to erase a two-goal deficit and gain a 2-2 home draw in game two with the Central Coast Mariners on Saturday and win their two-match series 4-2 on aggregate and clinch a berth in next month's Hyundai A-League Grand Final, in which they would be the host club.


Despite the loss, the Mariners are still alive.  They would host next Saturday's Preliminary Final against the winner of Sunday's Adelaide United-Gold Coast United contest.  The winner of the Preliminary Final would travel to Brisbane for the March 12 final against the Roar.
