City Beat Heat After Frantic Finale

Brisbane City FC

Words: Blake Birt
Additional Reporting: Simon Smale

Brisbane City stormed home late to beat FNQ Heat 3-1 at Corporate Travel Management Stadium on Saturday night.

Simon Biel and Han Kuk popped up in the dying minutes to grab a fifth win of the season for City, as the home side leapfrogged Heat into fourth spot on the ladder. 

The result will sting for Heat, especially as Ari Isman smacked the crossbar minutes after his team equalised with ten minutes remaining.

City play Logan Lightning in the Westfield FFA Cup next week before hosting Redlands United the following week, while Heat have two weeks to prepare for their home clash with Sunshine Coast FC.
