City hit back through the A-League’s top goal-scorer Bruno Fornaroli’s 10th of the season before Henrique sealed the win in injury time with a stunning strike from halfway.
The Roar’s third straight win keeps John Aloisi’s side in second position on the table, two behind the Wanderers and four above Melbourne City and Sydney FC.
After an entertaining first half-hour when both sides had a number of chances, the game’s opening goal came in innocuous circumstances.
Veteran Shane Stefanutto put in a low cross from the left flank aimed at Jamie Maclaren only for the outstretched leg of City skipper Kisnorbo to divert the ball into his own net.
Four minutes before the break, Borrello marked his return for the Roar with a goal.
The 20-year-old striker found space inside the box from a reverse pass from Dimitri Petratos and despite goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen getting a hand to the ensuing shot, he could not prevent the ball beating him at his near post.
The half-time lead flattered the Roar who had goalkeeper Jamie Young to thank for three fine stops.
