Roar set unwanted A-League record as Fowler watches on

A 5-3 defeat to Adelaide United has seen Brisbane Roar set an A-League record for most goals conceded in a single season.

The Roar have ended the 2018/19 season conceding 71 goals across 27 games - one more than Central Coast Mariners let in during their torrid 2015/16 campaign.

New Brisbane coach Robbie Fowler was in the stands at Suncorp Stadium as he saw Roar twice squander the lead against United before two late goals secured the Reds a vital win.

Victory for Marco Kurz side has secured them fourth spot on the A-League ladder and means they'll host an elimination final next week.
