Luck finally ran out for the Newcastle Jets at Suncorp Stadium as the Queensland Roar grabbed a 2-1 A-League victory. The Jets have hardly been flying in their title defence - they arrived at Brisbane dead last on the ladder.
But if Newcastle were going to turn their horror season around it was going to be at Suncorp Stadium - they had a perfect 5-0 win-loss record at their Brisbane happy hunting ground.
That changed when Sergio van Dijk's wonderful mid-air volley sealed the Roar victory - their second straight at home - to push them into third spot.
The loss all but ended Newcastle's top four chances and any hope of defending their title.
The Jets' fate was sealed in the 70th minute when Jobe Wheelhouse was controversially given his marching orders by referee Ben Williams.
A diving Wheelhouse appeared to miss Roar young gun Tahj Minniecon completely in his challenge but still received his second yellow card for the game, and subsequently the dreaded red - much to his disgust.
Van Dijk broke Jets hearts when his latched onto a perfect cross from former Socceroo Danny Tiatto a minute into time-added-on.
At least the game went to script initially for Newcastle.
Jets talisman Joel Griffiths - back from a two game suspension - extended his formidable scoring run against Queensland when his well-timed chip off a clever Jobe Wheelhouse feed in the 26th minute found the back of the net.
It ensured he had scored in eight straight games against the Roar.
But a stunning time-added-on goal in the first half by Queensland young gun Mitch Nichols locked up the scores at the break.
Young Socceroos star Nichols was only given a nod after Roar star Charlie Miller finally succumbed to a double hernia and booked surgery that could rule him out for up to a month.
But Nichols made up for lost time when his diving header off a Matt McKay cross on half-time gave the Roar a chance of breaking a horror run against the Jets at Brisbane.
Perhaps the only complaint for Roar coach Frank Farina was Tiatto earning his fifth yellow card of the season for a 29th minute challenge on James Holland, ensuring he misses Queensland's next game - a December 28 clash against Wellington.
Meanwhile, Roar's leading goalscorer Miller was expected to decide when to go under the knife after meeting the club doctor on Sunday.
He could have surgery as early as Monday.
It was the second straight home win for the Roar following their drought breaking 4-1 win over Perth two weeks ago and it ended a run of two straight 1-1 draws.

Wow, what an entirely unpredictable and entirely original reply from a true thinker of YouTube. Tell me, when you're not eating crayons or licking windows do you spend your time regurgitating more of this crap to your friends at home games? I can just imagine your lifelong one or two friends, gathered around the dugout, passing snide remarks to each other that aren't funny, original or comical, and laughing like true arseholes together as if they were the greatest thoughts ever.
Yeah, it's a pretty accurate picture, right? A bunch of no-hoper, 20-something drug addicts, sneering to themselves as they speak in some sub-intelligent, sub-human dialect of English that would confuse a Geordie, thinking they're the shit, all the while trying not to make their comments too loud, like their obnoxious, unfounded laughter, or else a few real thugs with some real imagination would come along and belt their faces in to teach them a lesson their dropkick parents must've forgot.
