| Sun | Jan 4 | home | Brisbane Roar | win | 3 | 0 | M. Muscat, J. Brockie (2) | Over 10,000 in Welly on super night. Manny played in by McGlinchy to score early. Almost did it again. Dominated the midfield, Rodriguez in sparkling form. Brockie, in his last game for Nix won and scored a pen, then turned and smacked in another. Big send off to Brocks from the fans. |
