The Manusians caused the upset of the day, leaving the hosts scoreless at nil-all throughout the game.

It was one of the best defensive side the visitors displayed at the Sir Ignatius Kilage Stadium (SIKS) in front of a vocal crowd.

Though it was tough in both halves, it was a relief for the Manusians to hold a top team scoreless.

Dwellers' own trusted  striker Nigel Dabinyaba and skipper Raymond Gunemba were locked all throughout the game while Admiralty had a field day upfront.

Gigira took a 1-0 lead before half time when July Elijah scored in the 34th minute to put Gigira in front.

FC Port Moresby responded in the second half through a double from Jamal Seeto to see them steal a 2-1 lead in the 69th minute.

But Gigira leveled up a minute later through Ian Yanum.

The game looked certain to go into a draw with the clock winding down.

Erema were first on the board in the 3^rd minute through young Michael Gita.

Huawei PS struck back in the 20^th minute through Henry Ronny and again four minutes later through Steven Mais to take the lead.

Both sides had equal chances to score more points but could not find the back of the net leaving the score at 2-1 going to the break.

Huawei PS threatened to take over the lead in the opening minutes of the second half when a cross from John Baulo to the boot of Ronny sailed above the bar.

Madang FC Coach Bob Morris has named the first eleven aiming at targeting the Manus fast game.

Morris says the team will be captained by strikers; Vanya Malagin and Max Sengum while Midfield will be controlled by Hanson Tirimo and Samuel Kini.
