It might not have been the shot heard around the world but it was a goal that reverbrated 8,000 miles away when Auckland City FC held Boca Juniors to a 1-1 draw at the FIFA Club World Cup

Christian Gray, a trainee teacher at an Intermediate School in Auckland, scored in a famous draw vs. Boca Juniors.

Auckland City qualified for the Club World Cup after winning the Oceania Champions League in 2024. In addition to the £800,000 pocketed for the draw, the club also returns to New Zealand with even more money, since just for participating, they had already secured US$3.58m (about £2.9m). Thus, the total prize money for the team is around £3.7m.
