Overview
- Roar beat the Mariners 2-1 in Gosford with a 92nd‑minute header from Justin Vidic.
- Head coach Michael Valkanis was sent off in first‑half stoppage time for two yellows after sarcastically clapping the referee.
- Valkanis received a one‑game suspension, with assistant Borja Lema running the second half on the touchline.
- Warren Moon labeled Roar staff conduct a disgrace and said police were in the tunnel during half‑time, a claim Brisbane disputes as routine police presence.
- Roar say Moon’s comments were inappropriate and unsupported, are seeking legal advice and preparing a formal letter, and the A‑League is reviewing the incident.
