Football Australia has today confirmed that the red card Holly McQueen received during Unite Round’s match against Newcastle has been expunged from McQueen’s record.

The independent MRP considered an Obvious Error application made by Brisbane Roar FC in relation to an incident in or around the 61st minute of Brisbane’s Liberty A-League Women match against Newcastle jetsFC on Saturday, 13 January 2024, in which Holly McQueen received a direct Red Card for denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity.
