Solomon Islands beats Vanuatu at the Oceania Olympic Qualifying tournament

Solomon Islands began their Oceania Olympic Qualifying tournament campaign with a bang, beating under-strength Vanuatu 3-0 in Auckland on Monday.

Two of the goals came from penalty kicks, one for handball, and the other for a foul, which was converted in the 96th minute.

Vanuatu had only two players available to come off the bench.
