On Saturday, Brisbane Roar stunned Western Sydney Wanderers 4-2 at Perry Park to secure their passage through to the semi-finals.
Marcus Antonsson steered home an accurate close-range finish inside 18 minutes to give the visitors the lead and make it three goals in two games for the new striker.
Carlo Armiento squeezed a finish inside the left post half an hour in to equalise for Brisbane.
Then, Thomas Waddingham got on the end of a left-sided cross with five first-half minutes to play to put the side in front heading into halftime.
Jack Clisby equalised for Western Sydney just before the hour mark, hitting a well-struck effort from outside the box that nestled in the right side of the net.
But Joe Caletti put the Roar back in front, unleashing a fierce effort of his own a few minutes later, following a corner.
Henry Hore added a fourth for the Roar in the 72nd minute with a purposeful run into the area, followed by a sharp finish to secure Brisbane a semi-final berth.
