Suva Futsal Club demonstrated an impressive performance in the final of the 2025 OFC Futsal Men’s Champions League, securing a 5-2 victory over Gulf Komara to claim the title. This win was a significant redemption for the team, who displayed skill and determination from the outset.
The match kicked off with Suva taking immediate control. Nikil Chand set the tone early by scoring the first goal, thanks to a clever assist from Ramzan Khan. Quick passing continued to characterize Suva’s offense, leading to Rajneel Singh doubling the lead shortly after. The synergy among the players was evident as they executed a well-planned set piece from a corner kick, with Khan once again involved, allowing Merrill Nand to find the back of the net.
Despite Gulf Komara’s relentless efforts, including a solid partnership between Ashley Eric and Morris Frida, they struggled to breach Suva’s robust defense, buoyed by the strong performance of goalkeeper Kitione Baleloa. However, Gulf Komara made a notable comeback with two goals from Ezekiel Vela, redeeming their efforts and bringing the score to 3-2 by halftime.
Following the break, Suva intensified their game, further extending their lead with Singh’s strike. Chand capped off the match with his second goal in the final three minutes, solidifying Suva’s commanding 5-2 victory.
This triumph not only highlights Suva’s athletic prowess but also positions them as a dominant force in the futsal scene, showcasing their potential for upcoming competitions. With this victory, Suva now carries a momentum that may lead to further successes in future tournaments. The match exemplified teamwork and dedication, inspiring hope and excitement for the future of futsal in Fiji as the team continues to develop its talent.
