In a very close game with a few near misses Brisbane Roar Youth and Redlands United have drawn at (2-2) on Sunday afternoon at AJ Kelly Park. 

Despite a couple of missed chances, Young Roar played a strong first half with Captain Adam Sawyer taking a penalty and Rahmat Akbari securing a second goal lead.

The tables turned in the second half as Redlands broke back determined to not end the last round at a loss.
