  • Monday 26 May 2025: Was Auckland FC robbed of a goal?

    On Sports Fix with Jason Pine for 26th of May 2025 - controversy as Auckland FC's A-League season comes to an end. After going down 2-0 in the second leg of the semi-finals, Auckland FC thought they had the tie levelled when Logan Rogerson headed the ball into the net from close range, only for it to be scrubbed off by the line judge, deeming the ball to have gone out of bounds prior to the goal. Former A-Legue ref Matthew Breeze offers his thoughts on the call.

    Piney provides his thoughts on the no goa, and also laments Auckland FC's poor performance across the park.

    Plus, the Elijah Fa'afiu is back in the people's chamber to discuss the Chiefs dominant win over Moana Pasifika.
