Everything changed in the sixty-fifth minute when Lions broke the deadlock. to be fair, the visitors had kept the game level for long stretches, but that single moment proved decisive enough to separate them.

Lions have not won since drawing 1-1 with Perth Glory on July 21st, but this victory extends their unbeaten run. They came through against Gold Coast United and Eastern Suburbs with identical 1-0 scorelines in recent weeks.
Peninsula Power's form has been less consistent, with draws and losses against Morton City and APIA. and here's the thing, they had won three straight before this setback, but now they face a tougher run-in.
