VIDEO: Opening Night Highlights
The opening night of the National Premier Leagues in Queensland was a huge success with over 1200 people on hand to welcome the new season at Spencer Park in Brisbane.
It was an old rivalry in a new setting as Brisbane City played host to Olympic FC, with the visitors prevailing 6-2 in the feature game.
The match was evenly poised at 2-2 midway through the second half following a spirited City fightback, however Olympic finished strongly to snatch four goals in the final 20 minutes to seal the points.
If you missed the night, or just want to relive the fun (and all the goals!), then our video highlights package is for you.
Includes pre and post match interviews, speeches from the NPL launch and, of course, all the action from out on the pitch.
