Melbourne Knights will be away to Brisbane’s Olympic FC in the first round of the national FFA Cup.
The Knights qualified for the 32-team knockout competition by beating South Melbourne 2-0 in the quarter-finals of the Dockerty Cup at Lakeside Stadium.
The four Dockerty semi-finalists play in the national cup, which involves 10 A-League clubs and 22 National Premier League clubs from the states.
The date and venue for the Olympic-Knights match will be announced this week.
Knights scored once in each half to beat NPLV leaders South Melbourne at Lakeside Reserve.
After a tense and scoreless first 40 minutes, Tomislav Uskok found himself on the end of a pass from Stipo Andrijasevic and scored to give the Knights a 1-0 half-time lead.
The Knights continued to apply pressure to the South Melbourne defenders in the second half and Andrijasevic set up Shayan Alinejad for the second goal.
The draw for the Victorian clubs in the first round of the FFA Cup is:
Melbourne City v Sydney FC
Parramatta FC v St Albans Saints
Olympic FC v Melbourne Knights
South Springvale v South Cardiff FC
Blacktown City v Bentleigh Greens
Bayswater City v Melbourne Victory
