The Brisbane Roar FC–Gold Coast United FC rivalry is a rivalry between Queensland-based clubs Brisbane Roar and Gold Coast United. It was then officially named "M1 Derby". It is considered as one of the A-League's most forgotten rivalry in their history.[1]
History[edit]
Early matches[edit]
The first meeting between the two teams was in the A-League on 8 August 2009. The match played in Bendigo, Australia in a 3–1 victory for Gold Coast United.[2] In the other two matches that season, Gold Coast played and won both games 1–0 and 5–1.
Beginning of rivalry[edit]
As the name M1 Derby implies, it shared the name of the main highway between the two cities, the M1. Due to Brisbane's close proximity to the Gold Coast, Brisbane Roar's geographical derby opponent was naturally going to be Gold Coast United. The glitzy Coast side only won 1 more game between the two (4 to 3), having won the first 3 games, all in Gold Coast's first season of 2009–10. They would, however, win only 1 of the 6 other games the two sides would play. The rivalry, however, concluded on 5 April 2012 when Football Federation Australia officially announced the axing of the Gold Coast side.[3] There was also a rivalry with (now defunct) North Queensland Fury due to both clubs being in the same state although it was widely considered a regular match due to the distance between the two teams. The Fury was axed just a year prior to Gold Coast United being culled.
2013[edit]
The F3 Derby was renamed as the M1, however, the derby is still officially referred to as the F3 (Freeway) derby.[4]
