Luke Casserly's team had a perfect first half and secured the victory in the end.

Playing away from home and looking to close the gap to the second-placed team in the Grand Final, Birkenhead entered the match as slight favorites.

To understand this score, it's important to provide context: the English coach's team conceded three goals in 25 minutes during the first half.

In the second half, the game was more controlled by the Auckland team, which adopted a more conservative tactical approach.

The Auckland team has entered the race for third place in the standings, while Birkenhead, considered one of the favorites for the Grand Final, seems to be falling behind.
