Carlton Westerdale's late winner secured a 2-1 victory for Redlands United over Brisbane City at the Cleveland Showgrounds on Friday night.
The loss is a devastating blow to City's Finals Hopes, and a win this weekend (or next) from either Western Pride or Moreton Bay Jets would knock the Newmarket side out of contention.
The home side threatened throughout the match and took the lead through Graham Fyfe's fifth goal of the season.
City did create chances of their own and Alexander Fiechtner eventually equalised with 20 minutes remaining.
Redlands were not content to settle for a point, as Westerdale popped up in the dying stages to claim the win for the Red Devils.
City host Sunshine Coast FC next Saturday in a potential dead rubber, while Redlands close out their season away to Brisbane Roar Youth.
