Match Highlights

Sláinte struck inside two minutes, and in spectacular fashion.

After a clever one-two combination with Arlie Hitt on a corner, Isaac Ngobu took a touch and curled a bending strike from outside the box into the near upper corner—a brilliant opener that set the tone for the day.

At the 18-minute mark, BP Seivers doubled the advantage, reacting first to a loose ball inside the box and slotting home calmly.

Just before halftime, Seivers delivered a moment of magic—smashing a thunderous shot into the side netting from outside the box assisted by Babsichkin, capping a dominant first half.

The second half was about composure and professionalism.

Sláinte controlled possession, managed territory, and sealed the match late when Francio Henry rose at the back post to knock down a cross, and Mark McDonough nodded home the loose ball with composure to make it 4–0.

The final act came in stoppage time: Kristian Slaby, sharp until the very end, made a massive penalty save to preserve the clean sheet and finish the afternoon on a high.
