Peninsula had a Power surge and Queensland suddenly has a new frontrunner

The title race in NPL Queensland flipped in the 91st minute.

Peninsula Power soared to the top of the table after Solomon Weldemariam climbed off the bench to score a dramatic late winner in a chaotic 3-2 victory over Magic United.

NPL VIC: Oakleigh keep winning. Hume keep hunting
NPL NSW: One league. Endless storylines. Another unforgettable weekend

Last-gasp scenes. New league leaders. The Power leapfrogged reigning premiers Moreton City Excelsior by two points as their push for a maiden NPL Championship gathered serious momentum.

They’ve won two premierships before. Now they’re hunting the one prize that has always escaped them.

And the pressure on Moreton intensified after a brutal 5-2 collapse against Brisbane City.

After being dismantled 4-1 by Peninsula the previous week, Brisbane City responded with one of the results of the season as Malakai Love-Semira and former Southampton FC academy product Marcus Barnes both bagged braces in a ruthless attacking display.

Elsewhere, fourth-placed Eastern Suburbs strengthened their top-four push with a 3-1 win over bottom side Brisbane Roar B thanks to goals from Andrew Pengelly, Joshua Brindell-South and Braydon Doolan.

Gold Coast United cruised past Rochedale Rovers 4-0, while Fernando Nash’s brace lifted Wynnum Wolves to a 2-1 win over Olympic FC.

The clash between Gold Coast Knights and Lions FC was postponed.
