Despite playing more than an hour a man down, the Victorian club joined a rare group who have bundled out topflight teams.

Elsewhere an incredible story unfolded in Darwin as Hellenic AC went toe-to-toe with Western Sydney Wanderers, pushing the former Premiers all the way in a seven-goal thriller.

Meanwhile Newcastle Jets won their first FFA Cup match ever to progress to the next stage.

Bentleigh Greens 1 (Jankovic 23') - Wellington Phoenix 0 

It was not what Phoenix coach Mark Rudan was hoping for on his competitive debut as a professional club coach.

Marco Jankovic latched on a sublime corner kick to head into the net for the only gola of the game. Just 10 minutes later James Kelly was red carded for a second yellow putting the hosts at a numerical disadvantage.

However, Kingston Heath again proved a fortress for Bentleigh where they have won 10 of their past 12 NPL matches.

For the Nix, who lacked penetration in attack, it was another disappointing Cup performance . The Kiwi outfit has only got past the Round of 32 once before, in 2015.

Northcote City 1 (Khalif 85') - Devonport City 3 (Barnard 12', 15', Stone 78')
 
Northcote's hope of some respite from their league woes wasn't to be as the Tassie side proved lethal in front of goal during the round's only all-NPL clash .

A quickfire brace from Miles Barnard followed by a second half goal from Joel Stone gave the NPL Tasmania high-flyers a comfortable lead before Northcote dragged one back through Yahya Khalif late in the game.

It is the second time Devonport have made the last 16. The first time was back in 2016 when they knocked out Lambton Jaffas.

Gold Coast Knights 0 - Newcastle Jets 1 (Topor-Stanley 11') 

Newcastle travelled 17,000 km from their training base in Spain for this one so their first ever Cup win was a huge positive for last season's A-League Grand Finalists.

The Knights hadn't lost a match this season but as the lowest ranked team in the Round of 32 just keeping the Jets to one goal was positive.

Veteran defender  Nikolai Topor-Stanley broke the deadlock early with a shot from close range.
