FT - Hawke's Bay United 1-4 Auckland City FC
NAPIER, New Zealand - Welcome to Bluewater Stadium, Napier, as we bring you live updates of today's ISPS Handa Premiership clash between Hawke's Bay United and Auckland City FC.
The Navy Blues perfect start to the season goes under the microscope as Brett Angell's Hawke's Bay United try to close the gap between themselves and fourth place.
Two years ago, Sam Mason-Smith's double handed the home side a famous 2-1 win - can they repeat the feat or will the Navy Blues make it 11-in-a-row?
Auckland City FC's unbeaten run in the ISPS Handa Premiership is an astonishing 22 games and stretches back to 17 December 2017 when they were docked points for fielding an ineligible player in a match with Tasman United.
Auckland City FC won that match 3-1 but following a hearing by New Zealand Football the result was awarded 3-0 to Tasman United.
That match was exactly one year, one month and four days ago (400 days in total).
Prior to this, Auckland City FC's last defeat on the field of play came on 15 October 2017 when Team Wellington beat the Navy Blues 3-1 at David Farrington Park.
That match was exactly one year, three months and six days ago (463 days in total).
That undefeated sequence stands at 29 games without defeat.
Currently, Auckland City FC have set a new record for most consecutive wins in the ISPS Handa Premiership having notched 16 victories on the bounce.
