OFC Nations Cup 2016

All Whites in driving seat after win over Vanuatu

Following their comprehensive win the All Whites are virtually guaranteed top spot in their group while Vanuatu’s dreams of progressing even through to the next stage of World Cup qualifying took a major dent.

Anthony Hudson’s men were at their clinical best in the first half against their Melanesian rivals scoring five times before the break.

Must win for Vanuatu in OFC Nations Cup

Vanuatu, who went down 1-0 to the Solomon Islands in their opening match, will face New Zealand to open Tuesday’s action at Port Moresby’s Sir John Guise Stadium.

Vanutau coach Moise Poida couldn’t hide his disappointment following his side’s defeat to their Melanesian rivals.

His players looked comfortable on the ball and created a number of promising opportunities but they lacked cutting edge in the final third.

Poida knows that it will not get any easier against the All Whites, but he believes his side is more than capable of causing an upset.
