With seconds to go in NSW led 2-3, a penalty corner awarded to Queensland on the full time siren promised the chance at levelling the score. A win for New South Wales would have meant that they would take the outright lead of the tournament and Queensland weren’t about to let that happen. Queensland’s penalty corner was converted by Daniel Beale after some precise passing from his team mates, Beale’s goal ensuring a 3–3 draw and securing Queensland’s lead of the tournament

Queensland quickly levelled the score only a minute later through Kane Posselt.
