Some matches to note:

Magic United vs Surfers Paradise had some late drama. 2-2 at the end of the 90, went to ET where a penalty decision was made as the Magic keeper committed a foul on a player despite winning the ball (they may have gone in studs showing, but it's hard to tell from the camera angle). Surfers scored the penalty and a 2nd yellow for the Magic CB sealed the game at 2-3.

Maroochydore vs Lions saw Lions come in swinging scoring 4 in the first half to Maroochydore's 2.

Gold Coast United vs Caboolture saw a tight first half, neither team able to score (with some absolutely shocking finishing), however the majority of attacking opportunities were held by GCU. 2nd half saw them get their crap together and put 4 past the Caboolture defence to send them through to the next round.

A tight game between Sunshine Coast, who had upset the Gold Coast Knights and knocked them out in the previous round, and Brisbane City was the highlight of the round. City has been all over the place all season which presented SCW with a golden opportunity to push for an Australia Cup Round of 32 spot. A lack of discipline from SCW hurt them and eventually City got a goal in the final third. The City striker got himself sent off in the 78th minute giving SCW 10 minutes to equalize, but a parked bus saw no goals go in for SCW. Reportedly it was the City coaches last game for the club before being sacked (likely due to poor performances in the NPL Queensland), however this has yet to be confirmed.
