Queensland coach Frank Farina says his side was unlucky not to walk away with three points after conceding a late equaliser to Sydney last night.
The Roar took the lead thanks to leading goal scorer Charlie Miller only to allow Stuart Musialik to bring the game level in the final seconds of stoppage time.
Sydney dominated possession in the final quarter of the game as it desperately pounded the Queensland defence in search of an elusive goal.
As a result of many fruitless raids into the box, coach John Kosmina said his side is consistently denied penalty kicks believing they would have a better chance winning the lotto.
But Farina says Sydney had its fair share of luck despite toiling hard for the point.
"I think Sydney should, Kossie should go buy a lotto ticket tonight, they got out of jail with 30 seconds to go," he said.
"But they fought to the end and I suppose that's the rewards you get, but we're disappointed not to be taking the whole three points."
A win would have given the Roar a valuable six points from two consecutive away games against heavyweights Melbourne and Sydney.
