78′ SUB AUC: Mario BILEN makes way for the promising Nicolai BERRY for Auckland

47′ Auckland have their first chance of the half when Emiliano TADE breaks down the left and cuts onto his right foot but he blasts his low shot straight at Anthony TALO

25′ TAVANO sends a centre across the face of the Warriors goal but can’t pick out a team mate
23′ If the possession continues to be dominated so much by Auckland this will be a long afternoon for Warriors, who have shown good structure so far but need to maintain their concentration
