Recap
Fitzroy have gone level on points with Carlton at the top of the table after coming from a goal down to beat the ladder-leaders by four goals to three.
Carlton Heart were without captain Chaaban Rajab for the clash, but they seemed unaffected by his absence when they took the lead early in the first half through Abdirazak Ahmed.
But Fitzroy managed to turn the game on its head before the half-time break with two goals from Fernando De Moraes and one from Llewelyn Stone.
Carlton clawed their way back into the game in the second half with a goal from Abdirazak Ahmed followed by an equaliser by Ernie Simsek.
But when Kui Mu picked the ball up on the wing and went on one of his signature runs the Carlton defence looked vulnerable, and Mu completed the move by slotting the ball into the back of the net.
That goal was enough for Fitzroy to come away with a crucial three points as Carlton failed to find an equaliser.
Only goal difference keeps Carlton at the top of the table, but with these two sides to face each other one more time this season, they both have their destinies in their own hands.
