United saw more chances in the last half hour of the match, peppering the goal in the last few minutes, butĀ wereĀ unable to find a winner.

Mulaudzi to Flannery for a clean shot only to be denied by a Clare Polkinghorne header. Flannery with a turn and shoot but Arnold could dive and save.

Khamis came out of the box to collect Nagasato and a yellow with ten minutes to go in the match, with both sides finding a bit of pace to finish as the temperature came back below 30 degrees.

Chances were flying in the last gasps, Flannery and Pickett had the most spectacular shots - while Rojas will rue the one straight on goal she pushed high.

Canberra United coach Heather Garriock wasn’t happy with the result, particularly where the side had dominated play.

ā€œI’m more disappointed with the point, we should have got three points today.ā€

ā€œThere’s a lot of positives tonight, but we need to finish games.ā€

Captain Rachel Corsie paid tribute to the character of Canberra United in bouncing back from a crushing loss in RoundĀ 8,Ā but conceded there isn’t much time to turn the season around.

ā€œThere’sĀ four games left, we need to start getting points on the board.ā€

Brisbane Roar coach Melissa Andreatta wasn’t happy leaving Canberra with the singleĀ pointĀ but praised her side’s efforts in difficult conditions.

ā€œI thinkĀ there’sĀ a few factors that impacted the performance. The weather was one. You could tell, for both teams, there was a bit of fatigue and sloppiness toward the end.ā€

Andreatta praised McCormick's desperation and particularly Polkinghorne all round as a fantastic leader to work with.

ā€œPolky is an absolute brick, not only on the park but what she does off the park, getting around players.ā€

The Brisbane sideĀ haveĀ a few weeks off now to reset and refresh beforeĀ travellingĀ to face Melbourne City, while Canberra United face Perth Glory in Round 10.
