Brisbane have secured a third win of the A-League Men's season, claiming a 3-1 win over Macarthur FC at Moreton Daily Stadium.
The Roar made a perfect start through Nikolai Mileusnic's second-minute strike before second-half goals to Corey Brown and Henry Hore sealed the win.
Veteran defender Adrian Mariappa's second goal in three days was the only consolation for the Bulls as they extended their winless run to five matches.
In what was Macarthur's first match outside NSW this season, they made a horrid start when Mileusnic was played in behind their defence by Roar captain Jay O'Shea.
The ex-Adelaide speedster knocked the ball past Filip Kurto before stroking the ball home for his fifth goal in his past six matches.
Brisbane had half-chances through Juan Lescano and Matti Steinmann but had to contend themselves with a one goal lead at the break.
After pressuring the Bulls' goal at the start of the second term, the Roar got their reward on the hour when fullback Corey Brown smashed home from the edge of the area with his left foot.
It was Brown's first goal in more than two years and allowed the crowd to give a standing ovation to fellow defender Jack Hingert moments later as he was substituted off in his 200th ALM appearance for the Roar.
Mariappa scored in the 74th minute to give Ante Milicic's men hope of a comeback similar to Thursday's 3-3 draw with Central Coast but when Hore scored his second ALM goal just four minutes later, the points were safe for Warren Moon's team.
Defeat means Macarthur, who are sixth on the ladder, haven't won since December 19 and have conceded nine goals in their past three matches.
The Roar travel to Sydney to face Wellington at Leichhardt Oval on Wednesday while Macarthur's next game is at home against Adelaide next Saturday.
