Description
PNG Hekari FC secured their historic first victory with a hard-fought win against a surging Vanuatu United. After conceding an early goal to Vanuatu United’s Bill Kaltack, PNG Hekari FC bounced back swiftly via a deflected shot sparked by Joseph Joe. The turning point arrived in the second half where Godfrey Haro’s heroic goal-line save preserved the tie just before Rex Naime blasted PNG Hekari FC into the lead. Surviving a tense 12-minute stoppage time with only ten players following captain Ati Kepo's dismissal, PNG Hekari FC cemented their win when Joseph Joe found Raymond Gunemba for a decisive late breakaway goal.
