First Half

However, just three minutes into the game, young striker Kian Donkers scored the first goal, dismantling coach Samuel Garcia's system. The team didn't concede any more goals until the half-time whistle, at least.
Second Half
The second half started just like the first, with the young defender from Auckland FC's reserve team, Aston Burns, scoring the second goal in the 49th minute. Shortly after, Bayliss scored the third goal, and in the 62nd minute, the young striker Ferguson sealed the victory and secured the sole lead in the tournament.
