The Fire gained a second goal just ten minutes later as Josh Sancusie beat his marker down the left-hand side and centred the ball for and Jesse Wilson to tap in.
The Fire continued to dominate possession in the second-half and create more goal-scoring chances. Only a fine display from the Coolum goal keeper prevented the scoreline from blowing out in the Fire’s favour.
Matt Kennedy scored the Fire’s third goal in the 61st minute with a well-taking strike from the edge of the box after good build-up play in the midfield. Jesse Wilson sealed the Fire’s win in the 72nd minute as he dribbled through Coolum’s defence in the box and tapped the ball into goal.
