Brisbane Roar 2 Western Sydney Wanderers 2: Janjetovic howler proves costly

Vedran Janjetovic's stoppage-time howler cost Western Sydney Wanderers a much-needed win at Suncorp Stadium as Brisbane Roar completed a sensational comeback to draw 2-2.

The visitors looked to be cruising to a first win in nine games after Roly Bonevacia and Kwame Yeboah put them into a comfortable 2-0 first-half lead.

Brisbane's attempts to get back into the contest looked futile as Henrique and Adam Taggart wasted chances before Dylan Wenzel-Halls saw a 76th-minute strike ruled out for offside.

However, just when the game looked done, Brisbane staged a dramatic comeback in added time to snatch a point – the second time they have come from 2-0 down against the Wanderers this season.

Substitute Tobias Mikkelsen pulled one back in the 92nd minute, but his first A-League goal only looked like being a consolation until Janjetovic's error.

The goalkeeper was trying to waste time as a long ball headed harmlessly out of play for a goal-kick, but he inadvertently got a touch to concede a corner.

And from Mikkelsen's resulting delivery Taggart rose highest to snatch the unlikeliest of points for the Roar.
