It was a welcome return home for Pacific FC as the hosts put on a dominant display against Valour FC. First-half goals from Josh Heard and Terran Campbell set Pacific up 2-1 at the break with Valour’s lone goal coming through Daryl Fordyce. In the second half, Campbell secured a brace and while William Aiko’s bullet strike made things 3-2, the hosts held on for three vital points.

Here are some of the best sights and sounds from Saturday’s match at Starlight Stadium.
