FNQ Heat shrugged off last week's loss to Brisbane City by dismissing Sunshine Coast Fire 3-0 at Endeavour Park on Saturday night.
Christopher O'Hare's first-half double set the tone for the home side before striker Jamie Carroll popped up late to grab his first goal of the season.
Carroll scored 15 goals last season but has been dealing with injury problems this campaign, his return to goalscoring form will be a great help as Heat push closer to the top four.
Heat travel to SWQ Thunder next Saturday night while Fire will host Brisbane City on Sunday afternoon.
