1987, this would be the game to break the record.\u00a0 For Melbourne Heart, they currently sit in 6th position in the A-League standings and would be desperate to secure some points to ensure they qualify for finals football.<\/p>\n<p>The Roar got things started in perfect fashion.\u00a0 A goal from Solo inside 5 minutes put them up early and they doubled the lead in the second half when once again, young James Meyer latched onto a through ball from Thomas Broich and toe poked the ball past Clint Bolton for his fourth goal in three games.\u00a0 I believe he currently averages a goal every 30 minutes or so in his professional career.\u00a0 This was the first time we got to see him play for a full 90 minutes and as we all suspected, he&#8217;s still pretty loose in general play but if he&#8217;s going to continue to develop this inate ability to get on the scoresheet then who cares if he&#8217;s got a sloppy first touch?<\/p>\n<p>A defensive lap in the seventieth minute saw Sibon claw one back for the Heart but ultimately, they didn&#8217;t have it in themselves to find another.\u00a0 Brisbane closed out the game 2-1.\u00a0 The conclusion of the Adelaide vs Central Coast game which the Mariners won 2-1 confirmed that Brisbane would have to wait a week before being officially confirmed as the Premiere&#8217;s Plate winners of 2011 as it is still mathematically possible for the Mariners to catch them.<\/p>\n<p>Two games remain in the regular season.\u00a0 A road game midweek to the Northern Fury and then one final home game back at Suncorp Stadium where they&#8217;ll be presented with the Plate after a showdown with old rivals Gold Coast United.\u00a0 Then&#8230;it&#8217;s Finals Football time.<\/p>\n<h2>BRISBANE ROAR 2 MELBOURNE HEART 1<\/h2>\n<p><a
