Brisbane Roar secures 2-1 win over Macarthur FC amid concussion controversy

Brisbane Roar maintained their unbeaten streak in the A-League Men with a 2-1 victory over Macarthur FC at Campbelltown Sports Stadium. Justin Vidic scored a 95th-minute winning goal to secure the result after Apostolos Stamatelopoulos had equalized for Macarthur in the 64th minute.

The match was marked by significant controversy involving Brisbane Roar midfielder Milorad Stajic. Following a head injury in the first half, Stajic reportedly bypassed medical staff and officials to return to the pitch despite reports that the club doctor had identified him as concussed.

His return led to an altercation with Macarthur captain Liam Rose, resulting in a yellow card for Stajic and a red card for Macarthur general manager of football Anthony Siciliano. Stajic was subsequently substituted under concussion protocols.
