Description

Defending champions Auckland United FC made a powerful statement in their group B opener with a crushing win over hosts AS Pirae. Winger Zoe Benson starred with five goals, aided by creative midfield play from Yume Harashima and Danielle Canham, as the New Zealanders dominated from the outset. Despite some defensive resilience and late possession from AS Pirae, they struggled to create meaningful chances. Tupelo Dugan added a brace, and late goals from substitutes sealed the emphatic win, setting up a highly anticipated clash against fellow contenders Hekari Womens FC in a rematch of last year’s final.
