Roda JC stormed into the quarter-finals of the KNVB Beker with their Australian trio playing key roles in the win

Socceroos striker Tomi Juric has continued his rich vein of form in Netherlands, banging in a double in Roda JC's win in the KNVB Beker.

The 24-year-old scored twice in eight minutes in the first half, including a perfectly dispatched penalty, as Roda cruised to a 3-1 win against Heerenveen in the cup tie on Tuesday (Wednesday morning AEDT).

Juric has scored six goals in 11 games in all competitions so far this term, including three in as many matches in the KNVB Beker.

After moving to the Eredivisie in the close-season, the ex-Western Sydney Wanderers centre-forward has been in sensational form, involved in more goals for Roda than any other player.

Juric, who set up the winner for Australia in January's Asian Cup final, was replaced with six minutes left by compatriot Daniel De Silva, with the youngster marking his six-minute cameo by setting up Roda's third goal to seal the win.

Rostyn Griffiths also got through the full 90 minutes as Roda progressed to the last eight of the cup competition.

In Germany, Ben Halloran made an impact as a half-time substitute for Heidenheim in the DFB Pokal.

The lightning-quick winger had an assist, setting up his side's second goal in their 2-0 win at Erzgebirge Aue.

There was a full round of matches in the English Championship with Neil Kilkenny coming on in the 83rd minute as Preston North End drew 1-1 with Birmingham City.

Socceroos defender Bailey Wright was an unused substitute for Preston.

Jason Davidson watched from the bench as Huddersfield Town were too good for Rotherham United, winning 2-0, as did Tommy Oar in Ipswich Town's 2-1 victory at Fulham.

Massimo Luongo (QPR) and Luke Brattan (Bolton Wanderers) were all left out of their respective squads.

Leyton Orient goalkeeper Alex Cisak lost 3-0 at Scunthorpe in the FA Cup, missing out on a tie with struggling Premier League champions Chelsea in the next round.
