The biggest upset came in Queensland where last season’s round of 16 side Olympic FC were dumped out by Redlands United at Cleveland Showgrounds.
Olympic FC – unbeaten in the PS4 Queensland NPL this season – were stunned by two first half goals from Igor Sao Jose and Graham Fyfe.
An 85th-minute strike from Matt Hornby was enough for Peninsula Power to edge past Eastern Suburbs FC 3-2 in a five-goal thriller, while it took penalties for West Wanderers to get over the top of Willowburn.
There was a stack of goals in the games in NSW last night with Blacktown City the most impressive.
Ex-Central Coast Mariner Travis Major was among the goals as Blacktown smashed Nepean FC 12-1.
It was almost matched by South Coast Wolves who crushed Yagoona Lions 10-1, with Bradley Welch grabbing a hat-trick.
Up on the north shore, a contentious early penalty – converted by Harris Gaitatzis – and a stunner from Go Shorai saw Sydney Olympic through.
Olympic got past Manly United for the second straight year, escaping with a hard-fought 2-1 win at Cromer Park.
State League side Balmain Tigers upset Bankstown City Lions, Sutherland Sharks had little trouble getting past Wollongong United 4-1 while Rockdale City Suns edged Sydney University 2-0.
In the nation’s capital the fairytale run of Brindabella Blues came to an abrupt end at the hands of Canberra Olympic.
Ben Basser-Silk scored inside the first minute while further goals two Philippe Bernabo-Madrid (2), Callum Smith, Pat Ross-Magee and Adam Neou led to a 6-0 win.
