Soccer: Roar claim A-League title

Brisbane Roar staged a remarkable comeback to win the A-League grand final on penalties over a heartbroken Central Coast at Suncorp Stadium.

With four minutes left in extra time, the Mariners had control of the match at 2-0 up, but the Roar came back through a goal to Henrique before midfield enforcer Erik Paartalu headed home a corner off the last play before fulltime.

Goalkeeper Michael Theoklitos was the hero in the penalty shootout with brilliant saves from attempts by Danny McBreen and Pedj Bojic for the home side.

The Roar won the shootout 4-2 in front of a club-record crowd of 50,168 to extend its unbeaten streak to 28 matches.
