Abbu Zahid was named player of the match as he struck twice against a high spirited Nikao Sokattak in their first game of the OFC Champions League in Auckland.

Tevita Waranivalu scored the other goal for Rewa.

Rewa defeated the team from Cook Islands 3-1.

They led 2-0 at half-time.

Zahid says they had a plan of starting wide and moving into the box.

Meanwhile, Auckland City hammered reigning champions Hienghène Sport 5-0 earlier yesterday.

The Delta Tigers will now play Auckland City at 12pm Monday and Hienghène Sport at 12pm next Thursday.

The two top teams from each group will qualify for the semi-finals.
