Henry Hore’s fifth Isuzu UTE A-League goal sparked a hard-earned 2-0 victory for Brisbane Roar over Newcastle Jets at Moreton Daily Stadium on Sunday.
Controlling all the key statistics, Warren Moon’s men were nevertheless made to toil for a win which was set up by Hore’s patient, persistent effort in the 83rd minute.
