Auckland City make big time

 AUCKLAND City have qualified for their sixth FIFA Club World Cup as a late, but timely, Emiliano Tade strike helped the defending champions see off Amicale of Vanuatu 2-1 in the Leg 2 Final of the Oceania Football and C Champions League last week.

It was a nerve-wrecking experience for Spain-born Auckland City coach Ramon Tribulietx, who says his side had to be happy and somewhat relieved  with the result after being taken to the wire by a worthy opponent in the Vanuatu champions.
