clubs fans a nervy finish against a stubborn Mariners s

Brisbane coach John Aloisi wanted a reaction, and a reaction is exactly what he got.A first half strike from Thomas Kristensen was enough for Brisbane to edge Central Coast 1-0 on Saturday night and claim their first win of the A-League season.It also put to bed the demons of last weeks painful 4-0 flogging in Newcastle that angered Aloisi enough to label it their worst performance under his watch.The important thing is to have that intensity from the start and we had that, Aloisi said.We matched them with that today because they came out hard and they made it difficult for us. Last week we didnt feel we had that.However Aloisi did rue a 19-6 shots count that couldve saved him and the clubs fans a nervy finish against a stubborn Mariners side that never threw the towel in.The only thing were disappointed in is we didnt kill off the game earlier because we had those of the opportunities. But all in all it was a good reaction from the players, Aloisi said.The loss keeps Central Coast without a win this season and extends their winless run to 13, athough rookie coach Paul Okon will be buoyed by his teams effort.The return of Fabio Ferreira injected a creative outlet early on the right flank, while gloveman Paul Izzo produced a number of strong saves in place of a sacked Ivan Necevski.Brisbane had to survive a handball shout on Luke De Vere that couldve been fatal, while Mariners talisman Roy ODonovans header had to be parried away by Michael Theo soon after.It was the third time in as many weeks the Mariners were unfortunate not to receive a penalty.The fourth official told me, he was told that it wasnt a penalty last week. Im going to have to study the rule book. I honestly dont know, Okon said.Ive asked people who are referees if your hands are in an unnatural position, and the ball hits it, its a penalty. This may not be an unnatural position anymore.However despite the home sides bright early display, Kristensen drew first blood for the visitors in the 33rd minute.Jack Hingerts cross was met with a quick-fire shot from Brett Holman, only for a deflection to draw Izzo out of the goals and then get beat by Kristensens low hit.
