The Brisbane Roar has advanced to the Australia A-League grand final after a 2-2 draw against the Central Coast Mariners.

The Roar beat the Mariners 2-0 in the first leg of the major semifinal last week. Thomas Broich and Henrique, in the second minute of stoppage time, scored for the Roar on Saturday, while Matthew Smith and Oliver Bozanic scored a minute apart in the first half to give the Mariners a 2-0 lead.

Adelaide and the Gold Coast will play on Sunday in the minor semifinal, with the winner to face the Mariners in the preliminary final. The winner of that match will play Brisbane on March 12 in the grand final.
