Return Match between Noosa and Maroochydore

Thank you to all the players who could make it and for the great match they have played! Indeed, the first goal was scored by Noosa, but quickly after the Maroochydore reds (Ricardo) equalised. Just before half-time Noosa scored their second goal leaving the score to 2-1 for Noosa.

Soon after the start of the second half, Maroochydore reds (Ricardo) scored again to equalise. Noosa scores again on a counter-attack and takes the lead again. Almost at the end of the second half, Maroochydore reds (Ricardo), scores a third goal to equalise again. The pressure was there for both teams. Noosa scored a last goal in the last two minutes of the game leaving the score to 4-3 for Noosa. Well done to all the students!

Noosa Campus vs. Maroochydore Campus

First of all, well done to everybody who played, cheered or sweated in some way supporting our soccer teams! All the conditions were united to have a great match: great players, beautiful weather, a proper soccer field and a good referee! Maroochydore was missing a few more players but this was solved by asking a few Noosa players to play for our team. Thank you Leo, Lee and Bruno for your participation.

Maroochydore scored first on a counter-attack with Lukas making the final pass to Taro, who scored. Great combination! The score at the end of the first half was 1-1. Unfortunately for Maroochydore, Noosa scored 2 extra goals in the second half, leaving the final score to 3-1 for Noosa.

If you could not make it for this match and would like to join the Maroochydore Campus Soccer Team, make sure you sign up for the return match on the 8th of May.
