Cashing in on crazy half

MELBOURNE Victory’s ALeague winning streak has stretched to six matches after a dramatic 4-2 win over Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium.

Victory moved to the top of the competition ladder in a match defined by a first half which featured six goals, two penalties and a red card.

Star imports Ola Toivenen and Keisuke Honda were again at the heart of last night’s action, both scoring for the visitors but also having a hand in the Roar’s two goals as well.

Former Brisbane striker Kosta Barbarouses scored twice for Victory to take his tally to four goals in the past three games.

The Roar have slumped to a third-straight loss and will be without French marquee Eric Bautheac for next weekend’s trip to Wellington after his red in a remarkable opening half.

The action began in the opening minute when Victory cleared the ball off their goalline three times in seconds.
