In the ASB Chatham Cup match between Manukau United FC and Eastern Suburbs Auckland AFC, Eastern Suburbs secured a decisive 3-1 victory. A quick start saw Eastern Suburbs take the lead early, with their first goal at the 14th minute, which set a positive momentum for them. By the end of the first half, they reinforced their lead with a second goal, reflecting their strong offensive efficiency despite having one less corner kick than Manukau United.

Manukau United’s effort was evident, as they dominated in the corner kick statistic, accumulating nine to Eastern Suburbs’ eight. Despite these opportunities, their conversion rate fell short, only managing to breach the Suburbs’ defense once in the 62nd minute. This shows that while Manukau United had the potential to threaten through set-pieces, their failure to capitalize on these situations was a significant factor in the match's outcome.

The game saw only one yellow card issued to Eastern Suburbs late in the first half, indicating a disciplined and measured approach from both sides. Eastern Suburbs were notably caught offside more frequently, four times to Manukau United's two, suggesting a more aggressive forward playstyle. This aggression paid off with their third goal shortly after Manukau United’s attempt to close the gap, ultimately cementing their victory by maintaining a higher conversion rate of chances to goals.
