Hana Malo Vaga almost catching Maenu’u napping off a free kick, fortunately for Kiwi, the ball ricocheted off the posts and young Kalifa was in position to ram the ball into the back of the net. With Kiwi FC in front, it was now Koloale’s turn to even up the match and after pressing the Kiwi defense, equalized in the 73rd minute through Merina Joe, who received a lovely through ball by substitute Donna Kairi.
