SUVA – Here are the official starting lists for the first fixture (6pm) of the OFC Futsal Championship Match Day 2 between Vanuatu and New Caledonia.
Last night (Match Day 1) Vanuatu pushed host nation Fiji hard for the entirety of the championship opener before losing 1-2 to the hosts.
In the night’s second match, New Caledonia gave defending OFC Futsal Champions the Solomon Islands a massive scare as they led at halftime 3-2. That was before the Kurukuru found another gear after the break to run red hot scoring five unanswered goals for an 8-3 win.
Both teams desperately need a win tonight to keep their tournament hopes alive.
