AS Magenta have been crowned champions of New Caledonia for the fourth time after a convincing 3-0 win in their final play-off game over Kirikitr in the Super Ligue.
More than three thousand spectators were in attendance for the last two play-off matches and shows that football has a very healthy following among fans in New Caledonia.
After basically leading the playoff race from start to finish AS Magenta put the icing on the cake with an inspiring victory in which they were superior in all areas. Christmas Kaudre scored two goals from two Pierre Wajoka assists.
It has been three years since AS Magenta’s outstanding season in which they won the league and reached the finals of the OFC Champions League where they were beaten 2-0 by Sydney FC.
AS Magenta captain Pierre Wajoka received the trophy from Christian Cornet, a member of Federal Council of the FCF, and was greeted with a great reception from all the Magenta fans.
