Sydney FC, Melbourne Victory, Brisbane Roar and Canberra United have won through to the Westfield W-League semi-finals with two rounds to spare.
Canberra United locked up the fourth and final ticket with a 5-1 Australia Day win over Perth Glory in the nation-s capital.
Sydney FC stayed top thanks only to a debut goal from teenager Amy Harrison deep into injury time, with the 2-1 scoreline denying Adelaide United a share of the spoils amid a carnival atmosphere at the opening of the FFSA-s new Adelaide Shores Football Centre.
Melbourne Victory remain on the tails of the Sky Blues after a comfortable 4-1 win at Newcastle Jets, built around a treble from Lisa De Vanna.
Brisbane Roar rediscovered their winning form with a winner from Tameka Butt quelling a strong challenge from Western Sydney Wanderers in a high-quality five-goal contest at Suncorp Stadium.
