Description

Auckland FC maintained their perfect start with a hard-fought victory over Vanuatu United FC. Auckland FC took control early, establishing a 2 goals lead through a Luke Vicelich header and Emiliano Tade penalty awarded after a VAR review. Vanuatu United fought back admirably, halving the deficit when Jordy Tasip deflected in Alex Saniel’s drive but a string of fine saves from Auckland goalkeeper Blake Callinan and a late clinical finish from substitute Matt Ellis ensured the league leaders secured maximum points.
