Moreton Bay 2-0 Rochedale Rovers

Moreton Bay United made it two wins from two and moved to the top of the table with a 2-0 victory over Rochedale on Sunday afternoon.

Peninsula Power 0-2 Brisbane City

The Jets are joined at the top of the table by Brisbane City, who are the only other side to have taken maximum points so far.

City kept a second straight clean sheet as they defeated Peninsula Power 2-0 thanks to first-half goals from Jheison Macuace and Matt Thurtell.

Eastern Suburbs 0-1 Gold Coast Knights

Defending Champions Gold Coast Knights picked up their first win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Eastern Suburbs on Saturday afternoon.

Gold Coast United 0-0 Brisbane Roar Youth

Knights cross-town rivals, Gold Coast United were held to a 0-0 draw by Young Roar in their first home match of the 2023 season.

Redlands United 2-0 Olympic FC

Sunshine Coast Wanderers 1-1 Lions FC

A 95th minute Jesse Rigby goal saw Lions snatch a point at the death against Sunshine Coast Wanderers at Ballinger Park on Saturday night.

The hosts looked set to come away with all three points after Kyan Van Der Harst-Bryant’s 78th minute volley but Rigby popped in stoppage time to rifle and effort into the top corner and seal a share of the spoils for the defending Premiers.
