Bong Kalo banking on team bonds

 Kalo revealed this after scoring a hat-trick against Papua New Guinea and helping Vanuatu advance into the semi-finals of the OFC Men’s Olympic Qualifiers in Lautoka. 

 The prolific attacking midfielder was the star for Vanuatu in 2017 scoring three goals in narrow 3-2 defeats against Germany and Mexico. 

 His exploits in South Korea led him to pen his first European deal in 2017 with amateur Switzerland side Ascona FC.  

 “The game was tough but I am glad for my boys since we did a good job earning points in our first two matches,” he said.
