Moreton City Excelsior welcome Perth Glory to Perry Park for an Australian Cup round-of-16 fixture on Wednesday. The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 3-1 away comeback home win over Rochedale in the NPL Queensland.
They went behind to Mitchel Roberts' 50th-minute goal but Marquez Walters scored a brace, with his goals coming either side of Damin Anderson's strike to help the visitors leave with all three points.
Millar Cameron's side will turn their focus to the cup and booked their spot at this stage with a comfortable 5-1 home thrashing of Campbelltown City in the last round.
The Glory, meanwhile, secured their spot at this stage with a 5-4 extra-time victory over Melbourne City. First-half goals from Abdelelah Faisal and Max Caputo ensured that the game was level at the break.
A see-saw second half saw both sides take the lead at different points, with Adam Taggart, Nathanael Blair and Adam Bugarija scoring for the hosts while Harry Politidis, Andrew Nabbout and Zane Schreiber scored for the visitors.
Blair completed his brace in extra time, scoring the match-winner in the 115th minute.
The winner of this tie will face either NWS Spirit or Melbourne Victory in the quarterfinal.
