OFC Champions League Kicks Off with Thrilling Matches

Group games underway on the first day of action at the OFC Men’s Champions League saw Vanuatu’s Galaxy and Papua New Guinea’s Lae City take the top spot in Group B after impressive 4-1 wins.

Galaxy’s Willian Dos Santos Medina stole the show with a hat-trick, guiding his team to a stunning victory over Rewa at Churchill Park in Lautoka. The Vanuatu champions made a dream start, taking the lead in the fourth minute with a spectacular goal from Andrew Malakai.

The win sets up a crucial match between Galaxy and Lae City in Fiji on Wednesday night, while New Zealand champions Auckland City begin their defence of the Oceania crown with a Group A match against Solomon Islands’ Central Coast on Monday.
