Suva Futsal Club put up a determined performance in their OFC Futsal Men’s Champions League 2025 match, but were defeated 5-1 by a strong Mataks FC side from the Solomon Islands.

The loss means Suva’s chances of reaching the final are now very slim, but the team remains focused on finishing the group stage on a high.

Suva showed positive intent early on, moving the ball quickly through the court and threatening on the counter.

Merrill Nand scored the lone goal for Suva.

Their final group stage match will be against New Zealand's undefeated Waikato Rapids at 7 tonight.
