Brisbane scored twice in the final five minutes through Matt McKay and Thomas Broich to move through to a Grand Final Qualifier against Western Sydney Wanderers next week.
Besart Berisha looked destined to be the hero for the visitors after breaking the deadlock for Victory with five minutes remaining before the Roar’s stunning comeback in the dying stages in a thriller.
GOALS
0-1 (Besart Berisha 86’) – Just moments after having Jason Geria sent off, Gui Finkler won a corner for Victory with a superb strike from distance. Kosta Barbarouses delivered a teasing ball into the area which found the unmarked Besart Berisha who fired home from close range.
1-1 (Matt McKay 88’) – Dimitri Petratos found space on the right flank before whipping in a wicked ball which was stroked home by midfielder Matt McKay in heavy traffic.
2-1 (Thomas Broich 90+3) – Corona fired in a fizzing ball from a corner which was met by Thomas Broich who fired a thumping header past the stranded Lawrence Thomas.
