Suva Futsal Club celebrated a remarkable victory in the OFC Futsal Men’s Champions League 2025, marking their first win of the tournament with a commanding 5-2 defeat of Gulf Komara FC. The match took place at Vodafone Arena, where Suva showcased their confidence and tactical superiority from the outset.
The team’s offense quickly made an impact, as Nikhil Chand scored the opener with a setup from Rajneel Singh. Just moments later, Singh netted a goal himself after capitalizing on a turnover, giving Suva a strong 2-0 advantage. With a combination of disciplined play and a cohesive strategy, Suva maintained relentless pressure on Gulf Komara throughout the first half.
The lead was extended further when Ramzan Khan executed a splendid play, resulting in Merrill Nand tapping in a brilliantly crafted third goal. However, Gulf Komara surged back just before halftime, with Ezekiel Vela scoring twice to narrow the gap, bringing the score to 3-2 as teams headed into the break.
Post-intermission, Gulf Komara strove to capitalize on their momentum, but Suva’s defense remained resolute. The Fijian side regained a two-goal advantage following a fortunate deflection that found the back of the net. They then solidified their victory with a final strike late in the contest.
This win not only affirms Suva’s capabilities on the futsal court, but it also demonstrates their resilience, having previously secured their place in the league after a thrilling 3-2 final against Nadi in the Extra Supermarket Fiji National Futsal League. With their current form, football enthusiasts can eagerly anticipate more exciting matches as Suva aims to build on their success and firmly establish their presence in the tournament.
