Description

South Island United took full advantage of a chaotic first half to secure a vital victory over PNG Hekari FC, spearheaded by a memorable hat trick from Rovu Boyers. Despite falling behind early to PNG Hekari’s Rex Naime strike, South Island quickly levelled the score through Rovu Boyers before the match swung entirely in their favour due to an unfortunate own goal and two devastating PNG Hekari red cards, which included the dismissal of captain Ati Kepo. Facing a resilient nine man opponent in the second half, South Island United eventually made their numerical superiority count as Rovu Boyers tapped in a cross from Ry McLeod and later punished a late goalkeeping error to complete his hat trick and seal the decisive win.
