We were there at Go Media Stadium for the third NZ Derby between Auckland FC and Wellington Phoenix and what a game it turned out to be … a goal-packed match with Auckland FC winning 6-1 … Something that many did not expect (a win, yes … but by that much? Wow!)
We recorded the goal repetitions on the big screen at the stadium which of course are accompanied by our songs and chants from the fans.
I hope you enjoy reliving these goals.
(I may have forgotten to video the one the guys in yellow got … oh well, not important)
Go Media Match Attendance: 27,009 – Yes, suspiciously ending in the same area code as Auckland … 09. This is a new record for Auckland FC.
Auckland FC vs. Wellington Phoenix Goals
Final Score: 6-1
The Auckland FC Goals were:
⚽️ 31′ Neyder Moreno
⚽️ 36′ Logan Rogerson
⚽️ 40′ Logan Rogerson
⚽️ 60′ Neyder Moreno
⚽️ 80′ Logan Rogerson
⚽️ 93′ Jesse Randall
This is the first hat-trick for an Auckland FC player in the club’s history. Originally it was thought that the 60′ goal was Moreno’s (making it his hat-trick) but it deflected off Rogerson to go in the goal.
The Wellington Phoenix FC Goals were:
⚽️ 31′ Luke Brooke-Smith
With this goal, Luke Brooke-Smith set the record as the youngest player to score in Wellington Phoenix history at age 16 years 261 days. The next youngest goal scorer was Ben Waine at 18.
Not only that, he scored his professional debut goal on his mum’s birthday!
