Reflecting on their approach, Hughes says the team entered the match focused on securing all three points and executed their plan despite not dominating possession.

He reveales that at half-time, the coach’s message was simple, to maintain control of the game, adding that the players stuck to that instruction in the second half and remained disciplined to protect their lead.

On the points table Auckland FC are leading with 29 points, followed by South Melbourne FC with 22 points in second place, and Bula FC is with 21 points in third place.
