Brisbane Roar returned to the winner’s circle in a 2-1 victory over the Central Coast Mariners at Perry Park on Sunday evening.
After a scoreless first half, it was Deborah-Anne de la Harpe that opened the scoring with a spectacular goal from a tight angle in the 57th minute to mark her second goal of the season.
Tiana Fuller equalised for Central Coast in the 76th minute to get the visitors back in the game but just moments later, captain Tameka Yallop snatched one back by lobbing a header into the back of the net from a stunning cross by Alicia Woods.
Laini Freier, who made her Roar debut last weekend in Wellington, played alongside her sister Sharn for the first time in Roar colours tonight after being substituted on in the 71st minute.
This 2-1 victory puts Roar back on top of the Ninja A-League ladder and continues their undefeated streak at home so far this season.
Brisbane face Newcastle Jets at Maitland Sports Ground next Saturday as they look to continue their winning form.
