Lightning, 5 Goals, and a Dramatic Comeback: Roar's Wild Night in Brisbane

Brisbane Roar secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Melbourne Victory in a match marked by two lightning delays and a late winning goal from a Matildas star. The game, played at Spencer Park on a wet and turbulent evening, saw Roar's legend Tameka Yallop come off the bench to score the decisive goal in the final moments.

Delays Due to Lightning

Lightning near the stadium delayed the kickoff by 20 minutes. Later, with only one minute left in regular time, strikes just one kilometre from the venue forced a pause lasting over an hour. Eventually, the teams returned to finish the match, with Brisbane defending their lead through six minutes of added time.
