Melbourne City midfielder Leticia McKenna has scored a lightning-quick brace to lead her side to a 2-0 A-League Women win in their top-of-the-table clash with the Brisbane Roar.
In other games on Saturday, Melbourne Victory beat Newcastle 2-0, and Canberra defeated Western United 2-1.
McKenna scored for City in the fifth and ninth minutes in a blistering start to the high-stakes match.
The 22-year-old scored the opener from close range when Roar defender Chelsea Blissett wasn't able to clear her line.
It was 2-0 four minutes later when McKenna sent her 24-yard free kick to the top corner of the net.
The result extended Melbourne City's lead over Roar at the top of the table to four points.
Melbourne Victory are closing in on the second-placed Roar after cruising to a 2-0 win over Newcastle.
Matildas star Emily Gielnik led the way for Victory at No.2 Sportsground with her 18th-minute strike, before Rachel Lowe added her name to the scoresheet in the 43rd minute.
Assisted by Sara D'Appolonia, Gielnik put Victory on the front foot after her shot deflected off the palms of Jets keeper Tiahna Robertson to find the back of the net.
D'Appolonia then popped up again to set up Lowe, who toe-poked it home to settle the match in the opening half.
Returning to their winning ways after a shock midweek loss to Brisbane, Victory are third (21 points), while the Jets remain ninth (10).
At McKellar Park, Canberra knocked Western United out of the top six and surged up the table thanks to goals from Michelle Heyman and Sofia Christopherson.
Western United struck first after captain Chloe Logarzo fended off two Canberra defenders to set up Catherine Zimmerman's 15th-minute goal.
Heyman struck back in the 21st minute after Mary Stanic-Floody threaded the ball through.
The hosts then leaped ahead in the 50th minute after Christopherson danced around defender Aimee Medwin and sent a rocket from the bottom of the box.
On Friday night, reigning champions Sydney FC momentarily lifted themselves off the bottom of the table after drawing 1-1 with fellow strugglers Perth Glory on Friday.
Caitlin Doeglas opened the scoring in the 24th minute at the Sam Kerr Football Centre, before Lucy Johnson peeled one back just before halftime.
The Sky Blues sit 11th (six points) on the table on goal difference, while the Glory are 10th (nine).
