Vanuatu started the match as the better side dominating the game inside the first 20 minutes with star player Bong Kalo having multiple shots on goal but barely troubling the impressive Bonito keeper, Philip Mango.
The hosts opted to a more defensive style of play, but found more rhythm heading into the middle of the first half with the ever impressive Micah Lea’alafa continuously causing havoc for the Vanuatu defense.
Lea’alafa teaming up with Jerry Donga, and Gagame Feni was the nemesis for the Ni Vans.
