PNG beat Samoa 2-1, and go level on points with Tahiti (GD +2).
But PNG (GD -3) need Fiji to beat the Tahitians by 5 goals, to finish 2nd (play NZ in semis).
Expect the Tahitians to park the bus this afternoon in Fiji. Good practice for playing the AWs next Thursday. Being super defensive & well organised almost worked for them against the AWs at Qatar OFC tourney in 2022. Took a late Cacace strike for NZ to win 1-0.
