SBS match report
http://www.theworldgame.com.au/a-league/mariners-humble-champions-216782
Defending champions Melbourne Victory have been given an early, loud wake-up call after Central Coast Mariners upset them 2-0 in an A-League boilover.
In a season opener most expected Victory to win in a canter, the Mariners comfortably accounted for a hesitant Melbourne side lacking the cohesion and class so evident the previous season.
While it may be too early to mention the term championship hangover, Victory looked lethargic inside the opening 15 minutes as the Mariners went two-up.
Striker Matt Simon netted the first goal of the 2009-10 season after slack marking from a free-kick.
Then a Rodrigo Vargas own goal from new Mariners signing Michael McGlinchey's long-range strike sucked any remaining oxygen and confidence out of Victory.
Melbourne rarely threatened from that point on, lacking a cutting edge in the final third, invention in midfield and solidity at the back.
The Mariners by contrast produced an effective, organised and disciplined performance to post their first A-League or Asian Champions League win since New Year's Eve last year.
Adding to Victory's poor night was a second-half leg injury to skipper Kevin Muscat.

Mariners kick off version 5 in spectacular style
Thursday, 6 August 2009
by Glen Lauder
The Central Coast Mariners may have been written off by many ahead of Hyundai A-League 2009/10 season, but the team itself was unsurprised with its performance, after a dominant 2-nil win away to the defending Champions Melbourne Victory.
With Melbourne keeping a low profile during the pre-season the Mariners may have been forgiven for not being quite sure what to expect of the defending champions, who started brightly enough, with Kevin Muscat playing a long ball to Tom Pondlejak, whose ball in was well dealt with by Nigel Boogaard.
Glen Moss was called into action on eight minutes to easily deal with a Boogaard throw in flicked on by Brad Porter, but two minutes later, the task at hand was far less enjoyable for the Victory custodian.
Boogaard won a free kick in a dangerous position in the right channel, and the home sides defence was unable to deal with John Hutchinsons free kick, allowing Matt Simon to blast home past Moss, and create history as the Hyundai A-League 2009/10 seasons first goalscorer.
Two minutes later, Hutchinson stepped up in a similar position, his set piece this time cannoning off Simons back, but the Mariners wouldnt have to wait long to double their advantage.
Chris Doig pumped the ball up to Adam Kwasnik on the left, who cut back allowing Michael McGlinchey to launch a 25-yard effort on debut. The diminutive Scotsmans effort taking a somewhat fortunate deflection off Roddy Vargas, to nestle in the back of the net, and make it 2-0.
The Mariners were looking solid at the other end too, Pondlejak was put through on 22 minutes and layed off for Archie Thompson, but the Qantas Socceroo was well shut down by Boogaard and Alex Wilkinson.
Moss was again called into action to cut out a Simon cross destined for Brad Porter, while at the other end, a Danny Allsopp header flashed wide of the back post after a Pondlejak cross.
Allsopp was denied by Danny Vukovic one-on-one, however Matthew Breeze had already found a foul by Thompson on McGlinchey, and as the half wound down, the Mariners defence again stood tall to clear, after Vukovics initial block of a dangerous ball in from Thompson.
Brad Porter missed the target from a corner early in the second half, but from there the hosts were to enjoy a long period of dominance.
Carlos Hernandez and Danny Allsopp were both off target after receiving openings, while Pedj Bojic and Dean Heffernan both made important clearances to diffuse Melbourne raids.
The hosts best chance of the match came just before the hour, when Thompson whipped a good ball in from the right, and a charging Tom Pondlejak fired a first time effort marginally over the bar.
Hernandez then saw a 30-yard rocket slide wide of the left hand post, as the Mariners continued to keep Melbourne at bay.
As the Victorys frustrations grew, the pendulum slowly swung back the Central Coasts way. Dylan Macallister was introduced and won a free kick on the edge of the area, which saw Bojic fire over, before charging down a Moss clearance.
Michael McGlinchey and Adam Kwasnik both made dangerous runs into the Melbourne box, but neither were able to get shots away, but it mattered little, as the Mariners proved the critics very wrong, with a gutsy 2-nil victory over the Premiers on their home turf.

The much improved defence was the key tonight. They were organised and prepared to put their body on the line. Doig influenced the way they played at the back and he is the leadership we need.
Upfront Simon, Kwas and McGlinchey worked hard in attack and the work paid off.
We shut down Melbournes play makers and that made a huge difference.
Danny seems to be a bit more confident and keeping a clean sheet against the victory and with a stronger defence infront of him, should see him return to his best form.
Great a get the first win of the season and year. Up the lot of you who continue to write the mariners off and prepared to lick your own wounds this year

ABSOLUTELY MAGIC!
Lawrie got it right at the post-match: "Won't mean nothin, if we don't beat the Jets (Bogan Scum) next Friday night."
But that's a week away, so let's bask in the glory of an excellent all round effort tonight, 3 points and a 2-0 goal difference.
We are top of the league, we are top of the league....!
