Brisbane Roar brought Melbourne City's four-game winning streak to an end with a 3-1 victory at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday.
Patrick Kisnorbo's outstretched leg turned Shane Stefanutto's cross into his own net on 31 minutes and the home side doubled their lead before the break thanks to Brandon Borrello's low finish following a fine pass from Dimitri Petratos.
John Aloisi's side remain second in the standings and are now four points clear of City.
Melbourne Victory's winless run now stands at five matches after they were held 1-1 by Perth Glory.
Besart Berisha converted from the spot after going down under a challenge from Ante Covic with 25 minutes played at AAMI Park, and Fahid Ben Khalfallah missed a glorious chance to double the lead when he turned Kosta Barbarouses' cross over the bar from point-blank range.
