9:26 am on 12 May 2008

The Solomon Islands football club KOSSA FC failed to repeat their stunning performance over Waitakere United three weeks ago, going down 5-nil in the second O-League final in Auckland yesterday.

KOSSA FC beat Waitakere 3-1 in the first final in Honiara giving them a two goal advantage going into the game in Auckland.

But the homeside quickly wiped off the deficit in the first half with one goal each to Solomon Islands import Benjamin Totori and Neil Emblen.

Waitakere added three more goals in the second half.
