Tupapa Maraerenga FC from the Cook Islands secured their spot in the OFC Men's Champions League with a thrilling victory over Samoa's Vaipuna SC.

Despite Vaipuna's efforts in the second half and several impressive saves from Tupapa goalkeeper Manaariki Pierre, the Cook Islands team held on for the win.
