Match Overview

Key Moments

Moreton Bay opened the scoring in the 5th minute after a defensive error gifted them possession. Two more goals followed inside the next 10 minutes — one a long-range effort and the other a close-range finish from a cutback. By the 28th minute, the score was 4–0, and Samford looked shell-shocked.

The visitors managed to pull two goals back before half-time, including a well-taken penalty, giving them a glimmer of hope at 4–2. However, Moreton Bay came out firing in the second half, adding four more goals through a mix of counter-attacks and set-piece routines. Samford’s defence was simply unable to cope with the pace and movement of the home forwards.
