heartttt attack
The Melbourne heart have recorded just their second win this season, defeating defending champions Brisbane Roar 4-1 on a wet night at AAMI Park.
In an 11 minute scoring blitz, the Heart put 3 goals behind Brisbane goalkeeper Michael Theo, to all but seal victory in the 73rd minute.
The Heart were simply too good for a Brisbane side that lacked enthusiasm and attacking flare without their star striker Besart Berisha.
The Melbourne side looked the more convincing in the early stages of the game and were rewarded in the 20th minute. A flat cross from Mate Dugandzic just outside the 18-yard box provided the opening goal for Patrick Gerhardt. A sliding near post finish from the import put the home side in front to lead 1-0.
Brisbane dominated possession in the later stages of the first half and thought to have equalised just 5 minutes out from half time. A sliding Mitch Nickols cross saw Henriques guide the ball into the back of the net, only for the goal to be disallowed. The linesman ruling on a controversial incorrect goal kick.
In a second half that saw possession dominated by the roar, it was yet again the Heart who scored first. A cool finish in the 62nd minute by striker Richard Garcia had the home side in a commanding position.
Roar defender Matt German gifted the heart a penalty kick 8 minutes later, all but ending any chance of a Brisbane comeback. Josip Tadic steering the ball into the right hand side of the net to have the Heart leading 3-0.
David Williams capped off the night with a composed finish in the 73rd minute, curling the ball around the goalkeeper to hand his side a well-earned victory.
A simple tap in goal to Henriques in the 81st minute nothing but a consolation goal for the Roar.
The victory places the Heart in 5th position, while Brisbane ironically are at the bottom of the table having only recorded one win in six games this season.
