A historic victory today at Ambrit Stadium as grade 8 overcame the Teachers with a Golden Goal victory in overtime. It was Bertie who opened the scoring after 5', with Dylan adding a second before the Teachers had fully recovered from the shock.
The students changed their team and Mr. Jack, who had already impressed the crowd with a series of clever flicks and astute passing, slotted the ball past Lucas to make it 2-1. This second g8 team continued to disappoint and, when Mr. Francesco found himself with space in the penalty area, he turned and fired home an equaliser. The teachers had their tails up now and they took advantage of the tide when Mr Max met a corner with his head and crashed home the rebound after Lucas had saved the header: 3-2.
The students now sent in their last team and piled on the pressure. Alberto found the perfect glancing touch with his head to guide home a long throw from Santiago: 3-3... and so into 'golden goal' territory. Mr Max had the first chance and shot just past the right-hand post; Giorgio had the second chance but turned the ball outside the left-hand post. Aurora made a good chance for herself and was unlucky to shoot over. And then, inevitably, Giorgio pounced on some defensive confusion, shot the ball home and disappered under a wave of celebrating students!
