Olympic — Moreton City Excelsior, Queensland NPL

Morton City Excelsior secured a 2-1 victory over Olympique in Queensland's NPL regular season, stage 21, on Saturday 8 August 2026. The visitors, sitting third in the table, came from behind to claim all three points away from home. Olympique, eighth on 26 points, had taken an early lead before the visitors turned the game around after the break. Olympique struck first at the 14-minute mark, catching their opponents off guard. To be fair, Morton City Excelsior responded within five minutes, leveling the score at 1-1. Those two quick goals set the tone for a match that would ultimately be decided by patience rather than possession. Olympique failed to regain the initiative despite having chances. By then, the visitors had settled into their rhythm and began controlling the tempo. The home side's recent form — two wins followed by two losses — showed in their inability to break down a disciplined defence. The decisive moment came late, at the 86th minute, when Morton City Excelsior worked a short corner to find their winner. And here's the thing — Olympique had not seen a goal since the opening quarter, which told you everything about how the match had shifted. The away side held their shape and struck when it mattered most. Morton City Excelsior's result takes them closer to the top four, while Olympique's defeat extends a difficult run. The visitors have the deeper squad and showed it when the game went tight. Olympique now face a crucial period if they want to climb out of the bottom half.
