TALKING POINTS:
Memorable Match
17th November 2013
The first match where the Jets came from behind at half time to win. Brisbane took the lead through a Luke Bratten goal on a soggy afternoon in Newcastle. The second half saw the Jets score two goals through Adam Taggart, with a little help from a large puddle of water, to run out 2-1 winners.

The Jets last beat the Brisbane Roar at Suncorp Stadium in February 2014

Brisbane Roar are undefeated at Suncorp Stadium in 13 matches
