Midfielder Rodney scored a brace in the last 10 minutes of normal time.
Jimmy Raramane and Tanito rounded up the big win for Henderson Eels in stoppage time.
Wawens coach Peter Purari said his boys stepped up in the first half but unfortunately lose control of the game in the later stages of the final half.
“I am really proud of them, I thought we came back in our third game, unfortunately there is no discipline,” he said.
“Although we had a good build up, we couldn’t finish off and they capitalised on our mistakes.” – OFC
