Brisbane Roar's hopes of going top of the A-League Women table have been dashed after late goals from Emma Robers and Michelle Heyman propelled Canberra United to a 2-1 win on Saturday evening that was dramatic as it was late.
Taking the field at Perry Park looking to throw down a gauntlet to league leaders Melbourne City, the Roar couldn't produce the same lethal edge that had seen them score 14 goals in their last two wins but still found a breakthrough in the 72nd minute via Laini Freier.
