Scott Stewart atoned for an earlier own goal to salvage Moreton Bay United a 1-1 draw against Sunshine Coast FC at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

A grandstand finish saw both sides threaten late, however neither was able to break the deadlock – with Fire’s Paul Brownlie seeing a shot contentiously denied on the line for Fire in the closing stages.

The draw is the second of the season for both sides but extends Fire’s winless run to three straight matches.

Redlands United FC - 2
