Up against Carlos Tevez and Obafemi Martins, the Queenslanders claimed a famous victory to reach the AFC Champions League's group stage
Coach John Aloisi labelled Brisbane Roar's 2-0 AFC Champions League (ACL) win over Shanghai Shenhua as "the biggest" of his time at the A-League club.
In chilly conditions in Shanghai, Brandon Borrello and Tommy Oar struck in the first half to lay the platform for the win in the ACL qualifier at Hongkou Stadium.
Gus Poyet's Shenhua, with Carlos Tevez and Obafemi Martins up front, were booed off at half-time and despite huffing and puffing in the second half, could not find a way past Brisbane goalkeeper Jamie Young.
