Although Lupe Ole Soaga threw everything into the milestone match doing well both in defense and up front, Tupapa Maraerenga were the only side able to capitalise.
With superior fitness, helped out by the sending off of Lupe’s Vaa Taualai with just over 20 minutes to play, Tupapa started taking control of the game and within five minutes of gaining the man advantage, had their goal.
Sean Latimer whacked the ball off the upright from the penalty spot to take the lead which they would hold onto for the remainder of the match.
