Roar spoil Fury party
Dutch striker Sergio van Dijk banged in a double to lift Brisbane to a 2-0 triumph in its Hyundai A-League derby clash against North Queensland at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday night.
A bumper crowd of 11,530 - the second biggest in Brisbane for the season - showed their support for the mid-week football experiment, and van Dijk did not disappoint, nabbing a brace in the opening half.
The majority of those in attendance, with the exception of national coach Pim Verbeek, came to see Robbie Fowler's maiden appearance in Brisbane, but it was the dazzling linkup play of the Roar that had the crowd on their feet.
Fowler was largely kept quiet while the likes of Brazilian flyer Henrique and talented 18-year-old Tommy Oar took centre stage with their sweet service for van Dijk.
