Last week, Caversham was the victim and this week Technical's ace striker did it again to beat Glenfield Rovers 3-2 and earn a place in this year's Chatham Cup final.
In the other semifinal, East Coast Bays beat Nelson United 2-1, thanks to a late penalty by Jeff Campbell. The Cup final will be played on September 13 in Auckland.
However, Glenfield showed the pedigree that knocked Central United out of the Cup 3-2 after being 1-2 down, when coach Andy Moore's side started with an early onslaught yesterday.
Quality delivery from Danny Donegan probed at Technical's defence which looked hesitant, and after keeper Nick Tarrant saw one shot thunder against his cross bar, Glenfield took a 13th-minute lead.
Finding space behind target man Layton O'Rourke, who attracted defenders like a magnet, it was Richard Beard who materialised to head strongly into the top left of Technical's net.
Among the crowd of 1200, Glenfield's yellow-clad travelling supporters were ecstatic, in contrast to a silent maroon majority.
Yet Technical regained composure, and Sam Jasper missed a low right-wing cross from Mike Flaws where to touch was to score. The same combination again breached Glenfield's defence and, from a string of corners, Technical's pressure mounted.
Ross McKenzie and Andy Coburn got their passing game going, but it was Burgess' brilliant skills that had him spin close to the line and lace an acute-angled goal after 22min that stunned Glenfield and ignited the home support.
Play swung from end to end, and after Jasper slid tantalisingly close to another threatening cross, Glenfield forced a top full-length save from Tarrant, and a desperate leap by Cam Parkin headed a certain goal off Technical's goal line.
Possibly both coaches were thinking of keeping it tight with half-time approaching but Technical scored with a well-practised classic corner.
Tristan Prattley hit the corner short to McKenzie, who returned it for the young left fullback to play a measured ball to the far post where, jinking and ducking, Burgess headed Technical into a 2-1 lead.
In the second half, total commitment by both sides had referee Alan Martin exerting his authority, as tackles flew in slippery conditions, and at one stage O'Rourke barged both ball and keeper Tarrant into the net. It was judged a foul.
After an hour's play, despite some steady controlled play by John Chisholm and Blair Scoullar in central defence, Fero Mudrik, fresh on as substitute, found space to drill in an equaliser to make it 2-2.
In the energy-sapping conditions both teams made mistakes as they pushed forward for a result. When Coburn clipped a pass into the water-logged right-wing area, Burgess appeared to have few options.
They say good strikers always know where the goals are, and splashing through puddles Burgess scooped a dipping shot towards the far post, and keeper Mark Fulcher could only watch as it looped over him into the net.
Possibly the best goal celebration yet at the Caledonian Ground had spectators spilling off the grass verge to smother Burgess with pats and high fives.
Glenfield battled on, but the seconds ticked by and referee Martin's final whistle started another round of victory leaps and jigs as Technical celebrated its well-earned win.
An emotional Mike Fridge praised his side's character to have recovered from conceding an early goal, then battling back into the game.
"I was especially pleased with the second goal," he said with assistant Malcolm Fleming nodding in agreement. We practised that move several times this week, and it's gratifying when it comes off in an important match.'
• Dunedin Technical 3 (Aaron Burgess 3), Glenfield Rovers 2 (Richard Beard, Fero Mudrik). Half-time: 2-1.
