2nd-Last Tahiti United Beat Lacklustre Bula FC

Second-from-bottom side Tahiti United recorded their first win of the competition with a 1–0 victory over Bula FC, lifting themselves off the bottom of the table and drawing level on points with the Fiji-based private club.

Bula FC delivered another disappointing performance, lacking structure and composure in the final third and rarely testing the Tahiti United goalkeeper; this time, luck ran out with no red card to give them an edge in the game.

Playing in the Port Moresby heat, Tahiti United—featuring Fiji international Tevita Waranivalu—came into the match without a win and were coming off a heavy 4–0 loss to Auckland earlier in the round, but showed greater discipline and control throughout the contest.

The match stayed goalless for most of the first half before the breakthrough came in the 69th minute, when Tahiti United were awarded a penalty. Teaonui Tehau converted calmly from the spot to give his side the lead.

Bula FC captain Roy Krishna, 38, endured another difficult outing, with missed chances and caused several turnovers.

Bula FC were unable to produce an equaliser, and Tahiti United held firm to secure their first win of the OFC Pro League season.
