The Group D winners hosted the Group A runners-up on the afternoon of April 5th.
Both sides were equally matched in the first 20 minutes, defending and making defenders rush to secure their goal area.
The tug-of-war ended when Auckland City’s David Browne curved a through ball into the visitors’ net.
The Lae boys, determined to make the hosts work, kept them at bay until the half time whistle.
A return from break saw the elusive Browne dribble around Toti City defenders – Valentine Nelson and Mosie Milubwa – to double his team’s tally.
