There was a familiar theme to all of Peninsula Power’s qualification matches, with the four-time Australia Cup appearance-makers hitting two goals in every match.
A Solomon Weldemariam goal in the 76th minute was required to see off Capalaba FC after Josh Woolley opened the scoring four minutes after the first whistle.
Peninsula scored twice late on against Yeronga Eagles FC to secure a chance to defeat A-League Men opposition for the first time in the Cup.

Peninsula Power has had an upturn in form in NPL Queensland Men, as they remain unbeaten in eight matches in the league.
They’ve picked up four of their five wins in the last eight matches, but have sometimes struggled to convert games into victories; across that unbeaten span, they’ve drawn half their games.
Nevertheless, despite sitting in ninth on the table, Peninsula will be empowered by their run of form heading into a tricky match against the Phoenix in the Cup.
