ADELAIDE United recorded its second win of the season after belting A-League champion Central Coast Mariners 4-0 at Coopers Stadium on Saturday.
It was also Adelaide's first victory over Mariners since 2009 after the Reds had suffered nine consecutive losses to Central Coast.
And for the first time this season Reds skipper Eugene Galekovic kept a clean sheet.
Bruce Djite scored his first goal since February 3 this year to set Adelaide on its way in 25th minute of the first half before Fabio Ferreira made it 2-0 five minutes before the break.
Sergio Cirio embarrassed the Mariners nine minutes after half time when he chased down a ball which gloveman Liam Reddy tried to police out of play.
With the benefit of doubt - the ball appeared to be out of play - Cirio snuck the ball in between Reddy's legs before poking the leather into an empty net.
Substitute Jeronimo Neumann made it 4-0 a minute before time when he beat the Mariners offside trap before cooly slotting the ball home from 12m.
And Adelaide - in a first for the season - used a cautious approach and locked down the game after Cirio scored the club's third and played the counter attacking game for Neumann's fourth goal of the season.
Cirio created Djite's first goal of the season when he found space on the left flank stormed past Mariners defender Storm Roux before the Reds striker's deft touch was enough to send the ball into the back of the net.
Cirio was again the provider for Ferreira's goal when the Portuguese finally found his range when he slammed the ball between Reddy's legs.
But Ferreira succumbed to a groin injury and was replaced by Neumann during the break.
Neumann was on the pitch for less than 90 seconds when he forced Reddy off his line with the gloveman's decision good enough to break up the attack after Cirio again sped past the Mariners last lines.
But it was evident Adelaide had changed its usual possession based game plan to one which was varied between tiki-taka and long range passing.
Mariners, however, fired the first Reds scare of the clash when Mitch Duke broke the Reds high defensive line but could not do much more with the ball as the fringe Socceroo charged into the box after just 45 seconds.
But Adelaide weren't rattled and continued to work on a new game plan as it sat off the Mariners defensive back four before applying a press in midfield.
Adelaide, however, managed to survive a myriad of botched Mariners golden chances to take the lead with the first opportunity arriving after seven minutes.
Michael McGlinchey's cross from a short corner eluded Reds defender Michael Zullo before Mariners defender Trent Sainsbury's misdirected volley fell at the feet of Daniel McBreen.
With the goal at his mercy McBreen blasted the ball over the bar from 5m.
A minute later Ferreira failed to get a shot on target after a perfect Marcelo Carrusca through ball and with just Reddy to beat the Portuguese hit the side netting.
But the nature of Adelaide's open game still allowed Mariners to have pop shots.
Duke's 8m shot stung the head of Osama Malik when Josh Rose became the provider in the 10th minute before the forward had another chance on target five minutes later when Marcos Flores found an opening on the right flank.
Ferreira then created a great opportunity when he twisted and turned, fired a 20m shot over the bar in the 15th minute before the Portuguese again found space when Carrusca fed yet another glorious through ball in the 18th minute.
But in the one-on-one situation Reddy again won the battle before Cirio forced the former SA-based SASI keeper into a save in the 22nd minute.
