Samoa’s hopes of making history on home soil were dashed by three first half goals from a determined New Zealand side.

New Zealand perhaps didn’t come into this game as the clear-cut favourites like they had done in previous years, having been put under immense pressure by New Caledonia in the semi-final, going into half time 1-1 before eventually prevailing 4-2. Samoa, meanwhile, had enjoyed a dominant win over Solomon Islands in their semi-final, which saw them enter the final as the only team at the tournament not to have conceded a goal.

Samoa: 0 - New Zealand: 3 (Lania FILI 6’; Amelia HITCHCOCK 18’; Isla ROBSON 29’)
