Adelaide United have cruised to their first win of the A-League Men season, rolling Wellington Phoenix 4-0 at Coopers Stadium on Saturday night.
Two penalties from Craig Goodwin helped Adelaide along while George Blackwood, who was making his first start since returning to the club, and Javi Lopez also got on the scoresheet.
The home side took just seven minutes to break the deadlock.
The Reds recycled a corner which Wellington failed to clear, with Juande teeing up Ryan Kitto for a left-footed cross.
Goodwin volleyed the cross first time, slamming his effort into Blackwood with the ricochet wrong-footing Phoenix keeper Alexander Paulsen, leaving him no chance.
Stefan Mauk tested Paulsen five minutes later, picking up a loose ball on the edge of the area and shooting powerfully, forcing the young Wellington custodian into a fine save.
The Reds were forced to substitute their keeper James Delianov on the half hour after he was hurt in a collision with Wellington striker Ben Waine.
The injury handed a debut to 16-year-old shot-stopper Steven Hall.
Adelaide continued to attack as the half wound down with Paulsen making good saves to deny Mauk and Kitto.
United doubled their lead early in the second half when Blackwood was brought down inside the area by Tim Payne after a long through ball from Bernardo.
After initially being waved away by referee Daniel Elder, he awarded a spot kick after VAR intervened.
Goodwin stepped up on 54 minutes and coolly slotted home, sending Paulsen the wrong way.
15 minutes later and Goodwin had a second, again successfully converting a penalty.
Bernardo weaved his way into the box and dazzled James McGarry who brought the winger down. Goodwin picked the other side and again sent Paulsen in the wrong direction.
Hall had little to do in his Reds debut in goal, but did produce a strong save, denying a powerful effort from Waine from just inside the area.
Adelaide eventually added a fourth with Spaniard Javi Lopez finding the net in the 80th minute with his first goal for the club.
Substitute Yaya Dukuly led a counter for Adelaide before the ball eventually found Kitto out wide. The fullback looped a left-foot cross to the back post where Lopez charged through and volleyed home.
