This structured approach and composure allowed Suva to maintain pressure on Gulf Komara throughout the first half.
Further extending their lead, Suva’s Ramzan Khan orchestrated a brilliant play that culminated with Merrill Nand tapping in a well-executed third goal. However, Gulf Komara responded strongly, with Ezekiel Vela swinging momentum back their way by netting two goals before halftime, reducing Suva’s lead to 3–2.
