Submitted by Andrew Slevison on Mon, 07/20/2009 - 02:56

Brisbane Roar suffered a 2-1 pre-season loss to Newcastle Jets at Ballymore on Sunday.

Robbie Kruse was sent off for the Roar for using a hand to stop a goal-bound shot from Sasho Petrovski with the Jets converting the ensuing penalty.

It was Brisbane’s fourth pre-season loss but coach Frank Farina wasn’t too perturbed.
