GOSFORD, Australia (Interstat) — Justin Vidic scored in second-half stoppage time to give Brisbane Roar a 2-1 victory over the Central Coast Mariners in an A-League match Wednesday at Industree Group Stadium.

The visiting Roar overcame an early deficit after the Mariners’ Michael Ruhs opened the scoring in the 22nd minute. Brisbane defender Lucas Mauragis equalized seven minutes later. The match appeared headed for a draw until Vidic, a substitute, netted the decisive goal in the 92nd minute.

The result improved Brisbane Roar’s season record to 1-0, while the Mariners fell to 0-1. The outcome defied a pre-match projection that favored a draw. Four yellow cards were issued in the contest.
