Description

Vanuatu United FC launched their Challengers Group campaign with a decisive victory over PNG Hekari FC, driven by a clinical brace from forward Alex Saniel. The match began with a flurry of spectacular goals as Raymond Diho’s curling opener for Vanuatu United was cancelled out by a brilliant tight-angle strike from PNG Hekari’s captain Ati Kepo. After a tense second half featuring a near-miss free kick from Owen Smith, Saniel took charge in the final fifteen minutes, first capitalizing on a Michel Coulon header to restore the lead and later sealing the points for Vanuatu United with a composed finish following an Azariah Soromon assist.
