Brisbane Roar comes off a convincing 3-1 victory against Canberra United, maintaining an unbeaten streak in 2026.

Brisbane’s Daisy Brown scored just before halftime to set the tone for their comeback against Canberra.
Adelaide United vs. Melbourne City

This matchup, delayed due to extreme weather, features Adelaide looking to rebound from a 3-1 loss to Wellington Phoenix. Despite their struggles, the Taranto twins have been effective in attack. Meanwhile, Melbourne City solidified their position at the top after a 2-0 victory over Perth Glory, with Holly McNamara scoring both goals.

Both teams are struggling near the bottom of the table. Sydney FC recently managed a 0-0 draw against Perth Glory, thanks largely to goalkeeper Heather Hinz’s outstanding performance.

Current Standings:
