Blue Kumuls eliminate FC Genesis

The  Blues Kumuls FC shattered the FC Genesis with a 2-0 victory in the Quarterfinal of the Port Moresby Soccer Association (PMSA) Men’s Premier Division on Sunday, 9 August 2026, at Bisini Sports Ground.

During their Round 2 clash in the regular season, the Blue Kumuls recorded a 3-0 win over FC Genesis. The Kumuls proved too strong again in the quarterfinal, registering a 2-0 triumph. 

Given their recent rivalry, both teams rose to the occasion and displayed skills, determination, and defensive resolve, leaving the half-time score at nil-all.

The Blue Kumuls broke the scoreless first-half deadlock in the second half, scoring two crucial goals and icing the game and advancing to the semifinal. 

Blue Kumuls FC coach Teddy Morris said he was pleased with the win, but admitted that his team struggled in the first half. 

“We prepared well for this game but did not perform to the expectations we have set during training,” Morris said.

“We kept losing balls in the first half, which made it difficult for us to score goals. It was not good, but the boys lifted their performance in the second half to win the game.”

He credited the experienced players for guiding and leading the team to a much-needed win in the second stanza. 

Morris described his men’s performance as “their own worst enemy,” stressing that they would polish up in ball possession and coordination in their penultimate match.

The Blue Kumuls FC are confident of meeting Keleiruna FC in the semifinal this weekend. The winner will face Mungkas FC in the grand final.
