Melbourne City 1-0 Western Sydney Wanderers
After a tumultuous week, interim coach Michael Valkanis engineered a precious win for City thanks to Ivan Franjic’s stunning, curling shot in the first half against a 10-man Wanderers who had Spanish defender Aritz Borda red-carded for his foolish indiscretion on Bruno Fornaroli.

Brisbane Roar 2-3 Newcastle Jets
The Jets’ revival continues following a stunning win in the Queensland capital. After losing Wayne Brown at half-time – he made a mercy dash to be at his pregnant wife’s side – it was Morten Nordstrand who iced the cake for the Hunter club with a late winner in a win that’s pushed Mark Jones’ men firmly into the six ahead of the Wanderers in seventh.

More fabulous entertainment in Gosford. It looked like the home side may have snagged a point with another exciting comeback to make it 2-2, but a late goal by David Carney had the Mariners fuming as the unbeaten Sky Blues walked away with all three points in front of over 11,000 fans.
