Brisbane Roar 1 Melbourne City 1: Henrique spares Young's blushes as Roar go top

Substitute Henrique struck a 70th-minute equaliser to take Brisbane Roar back to the top of the A-League standings with a 1-1 draw against Melbourne City.

The visitors should have claimed a first-half lead when Brisbane goalkeeper Jamie Young bizarrely slipped and spilled the ball between his legs, presenting it to Bruno Fornaroli.

Young was again culpable when City went ahead two minutes after half-time as he drilled a goal-kick against the back of defender Daniel Bowles' legs.
