Meanwhile Socceroos hopeful D’Agostino was withdrawn at half-time of the clash at Kayo Stadium due to a knee injury and could also now miss the remainder of the campaign due to the extent of the injury.
The news comes as a hammer blow for Head Coach Michael Valkanis with Brisbane still in the mix for a finals place with just six games to go in the regular season.

Despite registering just one win in their last nine matches the Roar currently sit in 8th place on the ladder, two points outside the top six.
