The skipper added an equally excellent second in the second half but not even his heroics could prevent Floreat from bowing out of the tournament 4-3, in a genuine FFA Cup classic.
Jets maestro Petratos, meanwhile, added another trademark scorcher to his catalogue of net-bursting efforts by pulling his visiting side level against Victory on Match Day 3.
Petratos’ strike forced extra time where his side would clinch a famous 3-2-win courtesy of Patrick Langlois’ winner. The three-cap Caltex Socceroo earned 34% of the vote.
Edgeworth's Aden Gardner secured third place after his clever chip against Darwin Olympic on Match Day 1.
Gardner's well-executed lob, which earned 13% of the vote, helped the Northern NSW NPL outfit cruise to a 3-0 victory in the Northern Territory.
