There was no shortage of drama as NPL Queensland Men’s action kicked back into full swing following a week’s hiatus.

Gold Coast United remain unbeaten at the top of the league following a 2-1 triumph over Redlands United at Coplicks on Saturday night.

Nick Cowburn put the league leaders in front with a pinpoint free-kick in the seventh minute before the Red Devils found and equaliser early in the second half through a Dylan Brent spot-kick.

Jarrod Kyle popped up with a winner ten minutes from time when he turned home a Riley Thomson-King cross at the back post to seal all three points for Grae Piddick’s side.

Moreton Bay remain just a point off top spot after defeating Sunshine Coast Wanderers 1-0 at Wolter Park on Saturday evening.

Marquez Walters scored the games decisive goal in the 53^rd minute when he pounced on a loose ball inside the area and finished to regain top spot on the leading scorers charts with his sixth goal of the season.

A 91^st minute Hassan Ramazani screamer ruined Chris Grossman’s first match in charge at Olympic as Lions claimed a 2-1 win at Luxury Paints Stadium on Sunday evening.

Olympic opened the scoring in the 46th minute when Linden Farr found the bottom corner with a finish from the top of the box but the defending Premiers fought back and levelled the scores through a 64^th minute Andy Pengelly header.

Ramazani then rocketed a strike into the top corner from range in stoppage time to leave Darren Sime’s side three points shy of top spot in third position at the end of the weekend.

Sitting level with Lions on 14 points are defending Champions Gold Coast Knights, who claimed a 2-1 win over Young Roar at the Croatian Sports Centre on Saturday night.

Goals from Max Brown and Ante Poljak inside the first 25 minutes secured the points for the Knights while Roar got on the scoreboard through a Thomas Waddingham penalty.

Brisbane City finish the weekend just a point outside the top four after running out 4-0 winners over Eastern Suburbs at Imperial Corp Stadium on Sunday evening.

Noah Maieroni, Kye Bolton, Jheison Macuace and Ginjiro Chiba were on target for City, who have scored a league high 19 goals so far this season.

At the other end of the table Peninsula Power picked up their first win of the season and moved off the foot of the table with a last ditch 3-2 win over Rochedale at Underwood Park on Saturday night.

The home side lead twice thanks to goals from Marek Madle and Alex Warrilow but were pegged back by strikes from Jamil Roberts and Sam Cronin to send the sides into half time with the scores locked at 2-2.

The match looked destined for a draw before Kyren Walters got in behind the Rovers defence and dinked a finish over Jacson Riley in the 88^th minute to seal the points for Rick Coghlan’s side.
