The red card means Armiento will miss at least one match for the Phoenix.<\/p>\n

The Phoenix only needed six minutes to hit the front when Ifeanyi Eze pounced on a mistake by the Brisbane defence to score the opening goal, his fifth of the season.<\/p>\n

Both sides created chances, but couldn\u2019t convert, although it seemed the pendulum would swing back in the Roar\u2019s favour just before halftime after Armiento\u2019s tackle.<\/p>\n

Brisbane keeper Dean Bouzanis and Eze both picked up yellow cards, as the Phoenix held on to lead 1-0 at the break.<\/p>\n

The hosts\u2019 kept on pressing for an equaliser, but the Phoenix capitalised on a counter-attack push which resulted in Kazuki Nagasawa scoring their second in the 59th minute.<\/p>\n

Paulo Retre sealed the win in stoppage time, tapping home their third after Luke Brooke-Smith made a break down the wing.<\/p>\n
