  • Aaron Mooy scores on Socceroo Debut

    mack

    By mack

    Aaron Mooy was selected in the starting line up for the Socceroos match vs Guam.

     

    He then proceeded to score his first ever international goal, his second in a senior competitive match with a well taken free kick.

     

    In the 54th minute he unleashed a perfect through-ball that enabled Eli Babalj to make the score 4-0 in favour of Australia.

     

    The goal and assist is justification for those confused and angry at Mooy being left on the bench for the opening two matches against Hong Kong and North Korea, and will be further fuel to his elevation to the full national team setup.

     

    Mooy hit the post on another free kick, then missed two golden chances. The first had a Guam defender just knock the ball from his feet as he was about to strike, the second was a chip cleared off the line when Mooy perhaps should have blasted it home.

     

    Despite the missed chances Australia won the match 9-0 and Mooy was arguably the man of the match. This puts them in a good position to qualify, the group will end in a goal difference shootout, as long as Australia who play Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) can better the result of North Korea who play Hong Kong.

    He changes it up and look what happens, even though its against a lesser opponent the young boys are playing some good football. Mooy free kick was awesome and came close with another one. Hopefully we can score a few more in the second half.

    He's come close a couple of times this year with free kicks.

    Mooy is pure class, he's a free kick specialist from what i'v seen of him.

    Mooy didn't shoot wide, the defender poked it away from behind him through Mooy's legs.

     

    Made me happy to see the interplay between Rogic and Mooy. Both have been fantastic in this game.

    Mooy missed another sitter.  He is certainly not the answer to our goal scoring woes.

    The first miss was Guam defender poking out from his feet.

     

    The second one.. well... he was probably too casual.

    He seem to try a flick or chip in favour of power. Still stand out on the pitch for me.

    He might have have his shot blocked if he went for power. Their keeper was their best on the pitch for Guam.

    looks like Mooy can only hit them from range

    Their keeper is the only one whos name I now know. Says a lot.

    Mooy was still all class and very comfortable. Would be interesting to see how he dealt with a team who actually pressed him in possession though.

      I just thought since he played last season under Stajcic, Majekodunmi might link up with him again since he is the one that started Majekodunmi's career in the A-League. Majekodunmi has only played 1 game this season where Zdrilic had him as a right back. The kid is a centre back so he didn't adjust to being a right back. Since then, he's hasn't been selected into the squad.

      Because sometimes they launch 50m bombs over the opposition GK if they angry enough at being frozen out   But no seriously, I'm with you. I dont want rejects. I want to steal the ones they want to keep. And specifically Majekodunmi has been the CB thats set a horrible unwanted record for the worst home defence ever in the first 3 games. Strong pass. Pelekanos has shown reason to be considered as depth there. If we have budget, we should be looking at a senior CB
