Luongo came up against Socceroos team-mate Jackson Irvine as QPR claimed a hard-earned 1-1 draw against Burton Albion.
Burton looked like getting the three points when Jamie Ward gave the home side the lead on 58 minutes but a superb assist from Luongo led to QPR's equaliser 20 minutes from time.
Luongo collected the ball on the left wing and crossed it with the outside of his right boot for Simon Polterto poke the ball home.
The two Socceroos both got through 90 minutes.
Elsewhere, Mooy put in another full-blooded display as Huddersfield held on for a crucial 2-1 win at home to Rotherham.
Great win for Town again tonight, Mooy and Whitehead different class in that Midfield!

The result has put the Terriers back on top in the Championship table, although Norwich City could leapfrog them when they play on Wednesday.
Mile Jedinak's Aston Villa had to settle for another draw after they conceded in the 90th minute to draw 1-1 at Barnsley.
The Socceroos captain put in a full shift for Villa, who have now drawn seven of their 10 matches this season.
There was also a draw for Bailey Wright and Preston North End, who were pegged back twice in their 2-2 stalemate at Birmingham City.
Goalkeeper Alex Cisak was involved in a crazy game in League Two, as his Leyton Orient side had two players sent off inside the first 15 minutes, while already trailing 1-0.

Despite the numerical disadvantage, Orient only conceded once more – in the 84th minute – as they lost 2-0 at home to Plymouth Argyle.
In League One, James Meredith's Bradford City have moved up to third spot after a 2-1 win over Fleetwood Town, with the left-back putting in another solid 90 minutes for the hosts.
