Futsalroos claim Trans-Tasman Cup

Australia again flexed their futsal muscle in Wellington on Thursday, retaining the Trans-Tasman Cup with a 6-1 win over the Futsal Whites at the ASB Sports Centre.

Unanswered goals from Ferando De Moraes, Daniel Fogarty and Jarrod Basger gave the visitors a 3-0 halftime buffer in the second game of the three-match series – an advantage which became 4-0 as De Moraes scored early in the second period.

Futsal Whites captain Marvin Eakins pulled one back soon after – becoming the all-time leading scorer for the New Zealand side – but the Australians responded with further goals to Wade Giovenali and Glen Kelshaw to close out the result.

New Zealand’s Lucas Da Silva received a red card for dangerous play late in the contest and will miss Friday’s third match of the series.

Futsalroos take Game 1

The Australian Futsalroos opened the Trans-Tasman Cup series with a 4-2 win over the Futsal Whites at the ASB Sports Centre in Wellington on Wednesday.

The visitors held a 2-0 halftime lead thanks to first period goals to Marino Musumeci and Jordan Guerreiro and they were 3-0 ahead when Fernando De Moraes slotted home in the second period.

But the home side responded and a goal to Daniel Burns – who plays in the Australian F-League competition – got the hosts on the board before a fourth goal to the visitors through Jonathan Barrientos made it 4-1.

Futsal Whites captain Marvin Eakins pulled another goal back late on from the penalty spot to complete the scoring.

The second game of the Trans-Tasman Cup is on Thursday 9 July at 6.30pm at the ASB Sports Centre. Tickets are available at the gate and the match will be LIVE streamed via www.stuff.co.nz
