José Figuera's team delivered a solid performance throughout the 90 minutes.

Playing at home and needing to react, the Auckland team entered the match with a slight advantage.

To understand the significance of this victory, besides the team being at the bottom of the league, the visiting team was ahead in the standings, and the early goal by Cambodian player Lim Lucca energized the fans.

In a disjointed and hard-fought second half, Auckland United managed to score two late goals through Conroy and Mancilla, giving the star Spanish coach a breather.

Auckland's star-studded team, Emiliano Tade, seems to have found its way back into contention for a Grand Final spot, while Coastal Spirit is likely to finish at the bottom of the table.
