Host Papua New Guinea Kapuls scored an absolute opener against New Caledonia in the third match of the OFC Nations Cup challenge to lead 1-0 in the first half.
Kapuls held off the New Caledonian’s strong side in the opening minutes through goalkeeper Ronald Warisan, despite their rivals’ many attempts to score.
Warrisan worked hard to defend the goal before a dangerous jump outside the box got him a yellow card.
However, PNG regrouped and it was once again a quick footy from skipper David Muta, with just 10 minutes before half-time, that sends in PNG’s utility Tommy Semmy who moved past the NC stopper Judikael Ixoee, to power a right foot to the back of the net.
