Nunawading City – from Victoria’s third tier – introduced themselves to the national stage with a bang, breaking the record for the largest winning margin in the competition with their 9-0 victory.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Avondale FC and the Western Sydney Wanderers both advanced to the Round of 16 with comfortable victories.<\/p>\n

Darwin Olympic 0-9 Nunawading City<\/p>\n

Nunawading City eased into the Round of 16 with a record-breaking victory over Darwin Olympic.<\/p>\n

Nunawading opened their account in the third minute through Stuart Edgar and never looked like relinquishing their lead. By midway through the half they led by three.<\/p>\n

Darwin Olympic\u2019s woes were exacerbated when Abdishek Rijal was shown a red card in the 29th minute.<\/p>\n

It was six at half-time, with Stuart Edgar adding another, Alex Kubenko scoring two, and Taira Yoshimura and Denis Daluri getting in on the action.<\/p>\n

Remarkably, Daluri assisted four of the six goals in the first half.<\/p>\n

Edgar completed his hat-trick in the second half before goals to Carlos Abboud and centre-back Haris Hodzic helped Nunawading break the record for the largest winning margin in the Hahn Australia Cup.<\/p>\n

It was a stunning introduction to the national stage for the first-timers from Melbourne\u2019s East.<\/p>\n

Peninsula Power 0-3 Western Sydney Wanderers<\/p>\n

The Western Sydney Wanderers became the first A-League Men\u2019s team to advance to the Round of 16 with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Queensland NPL team Peninsula Power.<\/p>\n

The Wanderers did the damage early, with Bozhidar Kraev scoring a brace and Kosta Barbarouses adding a third to be three goals to the good by the break.<\/p>\n

The Power did ask some questions of Lawrence Thomas in the Wanderers\u2019 goal in the second half, but Alen Stajcic\u2019s side rarely left second gear in a controlled performance to start their season.<\/p>\n

Western Sydney will be hoping to add their first Hahn Australia Cup to the trophy cabinet this season.

Avondale FC 5-1 Stirling Macedonia<\/p>\n

Stirling Macedonia held on for 54 minutes, but were ultimately unable to contain NPL Victoria\u2019s Avondale FC, who scored a flurry of second-half goals to advance to the Round of 16 with a 5-1 victory.<\/p>\n

Avondale had most of the opportunities but struggled to break down a determined Stirling Macedonia. Once Kristian Trajceski finally scored in the 54th minute, however, they were able to break the game open.<\/p>\n

Yusuf Ahmed and Manyluak Aguek scored penalties, while a goal from Kur Gai Kur and a second for Aguek made it five.<\/p>\n

Stirling Macedonia were able to give their fans watching back home in Perth something to cheer about late when Bayley Brown-Montgomery scored a consolation in stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Avondale will relish the opportunity to advance into the latter stages of the Cup.
