Round 8 Highlights: Carlos Scores A Stunner As Gold Coast And Sydney Lose

Newcastle Vs. Perth
Newcastle pretty much dominated the match and were unfortunate not to score. In the 80th minute they gave away a penalty and undeservedly lost 3 points as Sterjovski rammed it home. Ben’s report here.

Gold Coast Vs. Melbourne
The teams played out a 5 goal thriller, the main talking points were Hernandez’s goal and Melbourne given a second chance from the spot. My report here.

Wellington Vs. CCM
Central Coast and Wellington played out a nil-nil draw. Central Coast had a goal disallowed due to offside, I think it was to close to call but Simon was lurking on the wrong side for a while.

Brisbane Vs. Sydney
With top spot up for grabs if Sydney had to win there fans would have expected a win, but Van Djik scored late on and secured all points for Brisbane. Ahmed’s report here, Michael’s here.

North Queensland Vs. Adelaide
North Queensland continued there dismal start to there debut season slumping to a 2-0 defeat to United. Pantelis scored midway through proceedings and Victorian Matt Leckie wrapped up all 3 points with a nice solo effort towards the end.

Carlos’s goal again
