Sydney FCs A-League winning streak has come to an end but they remain unbeaten this season after a spirited 1-1 draw with Brisbane Roar.Josh Brillante and Thomas Kristensen scored first-half goals but the two sides couldnt be split after a compelling and controversial clash at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night.The crowd of 17,322 was left incensed Sydneys Rhyan Grant wasnt sent off in the 77th minute after he was shown what appeared to be his second yellow card for bringing down striker Jamie Maclaren, who was surging on a counter attack.However, referee Alan Milliner didnt actually book Grant for his first challenge on Thomas Broich in the 59th minute, even though he brought out his card after whistling for the foul.It was the flashpoint of an often niggly encounter between the Sky Blues and the Roar, who played up Queenslands traditional sporting rivalry with NSW by wearing maroon jerseys instead of their usual orange.But they didnt exactly inspire a State of Origin-level performance, as the hosts could have easily been three or four goals down before halftime.Unable to play through Sydneys relentless press, the Roar coughed up the ball repeatedly while trying to play out of defence, with Brillante taking advantage of their sloppiness in the 13th minute with a rocket from 20 metres out.They should have scored again through Bobo and Alex Brosque, who within seconds of each other pounced on stray passes at the back from Brisbane to go one-on-one with goalkeeper Michael Theo.Neither found the target and minutes later, the Roar made them pay by squaring the ledger, completely against the run of play.Tommy Oars 40th minute cross landed perfectly for Kristensen, who used the outside of his foot to curl the ball past the outstretched glove of Danny Vukovic and into the back of the net.Sydney continued to push but couldnt get past Theo, who produced strong saves to deny a Brandon ONeill free kick and a close-range attempt from Ninkovic, before bravely shutting out substitute Bernie Ibini in the dying seconds.Match officials declined the opportunity to clarify the Grant incident after the match.Referees are banned from looking at video replays and Brisbane coach John Aloisi said it would have been poor if Milliner had glanced at the big screen and decided not to award the card.Its worrying if he did do that. Im not saying he did. I will actually go the other way and just think because there was a melee, he forgot to give it, he said.Hes obviously just forgotten. But I dont know how you can forget when its in your hand.Sydney coach Graham Arnold said his side was outstanding and he was only disappointed they didnt take all three points.We had enough chances in the first half to win two or three games, he said.But at the end of the day theyve got a very good goalkeeper who kept them in the game.Andre Dillard Womens Jersey . -- Canadian Andrew Wiggins got the ball on the wing, made a nifty spin move and then let go with a soft floater from about 10 feet that swished through the net in Allen Fieldhouse.
