A first-half penalty for the Foxes was neatly converted by Matthew Donnelly, after surviving an early Flame onslaught.

South Coast grabbed two stoppage-time goals through a Matthew Mazevski penalty and a Fernhill own-goal to seal a memorable win.

South Coast were out to avenge their defeat from the weekend, and came out of the blocks firing.

Flame nearly had a goal from the kick-off after Yuki Mandai hit a thunderous shot from outside the box, which brushed past the left post.

South Coast were out to prove a point, and were positive from the start.

Mandai would nearly become the provider in the eighth minute when his free-kick found the head of Daniel Lucas.

Lucas' header hit the left post, as he was agonisingly close to his maiden goal in the top grade.

South Coast persisted with their positive play, however lacked the final touch.

The majority of crosses from the Flame were met by either a Fernhill defender, or nobody at all.

Fernhill held firm despite the onslaught from the Flame.

The Foxes were able to capitalise on several cheap turnovers of possession from South Coast, and very nearly punished those mistakes.

The Foxes' defensive resilience paid off in the 35th minute when Jordan Hughes was fouled in the Flame's penalty area by Boardman.

Matthew Donnelly calmly slotted the ball into the bottom left corner to make it 1-nil.

Fernhill began to attack down their left edge, utilising the pace of Hughes - who was becoming a handful for the Flame's defence.

Despite this, South Coast avoided going another goal down.

South Coast's best chance of the half came in the 43rd minute, where some wonderful attacking combinations nearly drew the Flame level.

Mazevski was able to feed Seiya Oba a wonderful through ball down the right edge, however the cross that followed was not met by an oncoming attacker.

Flame were able to retain the ball, which found its way to Justin Smith on the edge of the box.

Smith's powerful shot narrowly fizzed past the left post, and the Flame went into the sheds one goal down.

As the second half began, Fernhill were able to create a few chances which answered a few questions of the Flame's back line.

In the 49th minute, Hughes received the ball on the left wing before cutting the ball onto his right foot for a shot.

The shot that was destined for the bottom-left corner was saved by White.

South Coast's frustrations grew larger during the second half, as Fernhill were stubborn in their defence - which the Flame could not penetrate.

In the 64th minute, an overlapping run from Boardman precluded a powerful cross into the penalty area - which was not met by a Flame attacker.

South Coast tried everything in hope of breaking the Foxes' defence. In the 74th minute, a cheeky pass off a free-kick by Mazevski bypassed Fernhill's defence towards Hiroaki Ushijima - but the cross that followed was far too high to threaten.

Tension was building around Ian McLennan park, as South Coast struggled to find a goal.

South Coast Flame's prayers were answered in the 91st minute, when Ushijima was dubiously brought down in the penalty box.

As all fell silent, Mazevski converted the penalty with a thunderous shot into the top-left corner - and the game was brought to life.

In what can only be explained as the magic of the cup, South Coast immediately took the lead as soon as they drew level.

Mazevski executed a perfect through ball towards Caleb Grace, however the ball was struck by the accompanying defender - and the ball was lobbed over the head over Bryce Daenell.

The home crowd erupted, and the horror of the last week was put to bed for South Coast.

The final whistle blew, and a sense of relief filtered through Ian McLennan park as South Coast Flame picked up their first win at their new home ground.

Flame captain Matt White spoke after the match, and was pleased with a much improved performance.

"It's good to come back and get the win after a disappointing result on the weekend," White said.

"We got together on Monday night at training and had a chat, and we all knew what we had to do"

"The boys knew we were in the game and all we had to do was not give up, and it showed. I guess that's just the magic of the cup!"

South Coast now await the draw for the next round of the FFA Cup.

Flame are on the road this weekend, taking on FC Gazy Auburn at Progress Park, kicking-off at 3pm.
