OFC Champions League: It's An All-Kiwi Final

The semifinal round of the OFC Champions League took place on Wednesday with both games contested at QBE Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand.

In the opener, Micah Lea'alafa (6', 22') and Clayton Lewis (24', 44') each scored twice during a four-goal first half as defending champs Auckland City doubled up Tahiti's AS Tefana 4-2.

In the nightcap, Tom Jackson scored twice (PK-74', 76') in the second half as Team Wellington blanked New Caledonia's AS Magenta 2-0.

Auckland City will seek a sixth consecutive Oceanic club championship when they face Team Wellington in Saturday's all-New Zealand Champions League final at Auckland's QBE Stadium with the winner advancing to December's FIFA Club World Cup, set to take place in Japan.
