Early in the second half, Newcastle Jets' Will Dobson had a great chance to equalize but his attempted lob over goalkeeper Dean Bouzanis lacked the necessary accuracy and power.
With 20 minutes remaining, substitute Henry Hore scored but the goal was disallowed due to an offside on Michael Ruhs earlier in the play, relieving the Jets.
