A-League Round 16 – Brisbane Roar vs Newcastle Jets

Midweek clash - Brisbane Roar vs Newcastle Jets

The Roar faced a tricky midweek roadtrip to EnergyAustralia Stadium to play a resurgent Newcastle Jets on a humid Wednesday night in New South Wales.  Although the Jets currently sit bottom the table, they have recently found their form and over the past weekend they made short work of Adelaide United, crushing them 3-0.  With former Arsenal striker Francis Jeffers leading the charge, this wasn’t a game that the Roar could treat lightly.  Although they sit atop of the A-League, they’re increasingly in danger of being caught up by the Central Coast Mariners who have played four less games.

So I raced home after work for the kickoff only to be told in no uncertain terms by Jen that she wanted to watch Glee tonight.  “But this is a live game.  You can watch Glee anytime!’

She won the argument.

I followed the game via the Twitter and saw that although we conceded an early goal, an 80th minute equalizer from Solorzarno helped us take a point away from the game.
