Central Coast come out on top against Melbourne Heart in a tight contest at AAMI Park on Sunday afternoon.
The only goal of the game came from an unlikely source, with Mariners defender Pedj Bojic scoring from a free kick early in the second half.
The fullback notched his first of the season with a curling effort from just outside of the penalty box which Clint Bolton couldn't quite tip round the post.
