Manus and Madang qualify for Besta Cup grand final

Manus and Madang men have qualified for the Besta FA Cup grand final following the semi-finals today at the Lae Football Association Park.

Manus defeated Central team Koupa 3 thanks to a one point difference in the penalty shootout to grab a spot in the grand final.

The defending champions were leading at half time 2-1 but Koupa bounced back in the second half to draw 3-3 at full time which forced the game into extra time.

However both teams beefed up defence to prevent each other from scoring as the game moved into a penalty shootout where Manus was able to score five goals while Koupa only scored four.

Manus is hoping to retain the title when they take on Madang who had an easy win over home team LFA 1-0.

In the womens finals, Port Moresby Soccer Association will take on Lahi in the grand final which gets underway tomorrow.
