Aloisi stretched out to slot home the first from a Corica through-ball after 15 minutes and was clearly pumped to have broken his long-standing drought against the team he scored twice against early in the season.

Alex Brosque got the second five minutes later after he went to ground in the box, but instead of appealing for a penalty, he beautifully played the ball off the ground to score.

He got a second close to the hour mark before skipper Steve Corica made it four six minutes later.

Fury got a consolation goal when new signing Terry Cooke was judged to have got the final touch on a dangerous cross that finally made its way past Sydney keeper Clint Bolton and into the back of the net.

After dishing up a woeful 90 minutes on their home patch against Newcastle Jets last Sunday, the Jekyll and Hyde Sky Blues were yet again on display.

But this week the fans were applauding, not shaking their heads in dismay.

Vitezslav Lavicka's men produced champagne football at times, conjuring up images of their emphatic performance against Melbourne Victory back in October at Etihad Stadium.

It was almost hard to believe Sydney were coming into the game on the back of three straight defeats, such was their early intent.

Reinstated striker John Aloisi slammed home his fifth goal of the campaign after just 13 minutes to start proceedings, with Brosque doubling the lead moments later with an audacious scooped effort from the edge of the area as Fury keeper Justin Pasfield attempted to cut the angle.

North Queensland nearly pegged one back minutes later after some casual defending from Shannon Cole. Robbie Fowler almost beat Clint Bolton at his far post, but the chance went begging.

As the first half drew to a close the home side was in complete control, with Kisel almost untouchable with his relentless darting runs from the right flank.

He ran his opposite number David Williams ragged, in a night he will want to quickly erase from his memory.

Stephan Keller almost wrapped up the three points heading into injury time, but was denied by a last ditch tackle inside the box from Matthew Smith.

Brosque then grabbed his second on the hour mark after some schoolboy defending when he ghosted to the near post unmarked and headed home past his former team-mate Pasfield.

Fury did manage to cut the deficit to two goals after Terry Cooke forced home a pinpoint free kick moments later but the three-goal cushion was soon restored after some more shambolic defending from the away team.

A quickly taken throw in from Sung-wan Hwan Byun saw Terry McFlynn lob a ball over into the path of Corica who defied his height to head home from six yards.

The virtuoso performances of Kisel, Brosque and Corica were all acknowledged by the fans at Moore Park, with the trio all receiving standing ovations as they made their way to the sideline.

Ian Ferguson cut a forlorn figure, bemused as to why his team only began to play once the result was assured.

Sydney 4 (Aloisi 13, Brosque 18, 57, Corica 63)
North Queensland 1 (Cooke 61)
