SOC:Brisbane shock Sydney in W-League final=2

"Credit to the girls, they stuck with it, put their bodies on the line and got their
reward in the end," said Brisbane Roar coach Jeff Hopkins.

"The game at the beginning of the season (4-2 defeat) gave us a wake-up call. We have
worked on a number of things week by week since then and I thought our performance today
defensively and also going forward was one of our best of the season."

Roar captain Clare Polkinghorne said the team's gameplan came off.

"Our key focus was to start well and not let them get any momentum, and the early goal
was a bonus," she said.

"It all came together for us today, we were completing passes and doing well in the
final third which has been our problem lately."
