To find the median number of goals scored, we need to arrange the goals in order from least to greatest and then find the middle number.

In this case, the goals scored are: 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 11

Since there is an odd number of values, the median is the middle value, which is the 6th value in the list:

2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 11

Therefore, the median number of goals scored is 6.
