SYDNEY (AP) -- Brisbane beat first-placed Central Coast 2-0 to end the Mariners' 15-match unbeaten streak in Australian football's A-League on Saturday.
Erik Paartalu and Besart Berisha scored first-half goals.
Second-placed Wellington rallied from a goal down on Friday to beat Adelaide 2-1 for a club record fourth straight win to close the gap on the Mariners to seven points with Brisbane a further point behind.
Central's Coast's loss was its first since it's 1-0 defeat by Newcastle in the third round and it's first at home in more than a year.
The Melbourne Heart and Melbourne Victory drew 0-0 in a tough local derby which left the fifth-placed Heart just inside and the seventh-placed Victory just outside the top-six playoffs zone.
