Red cards issue to NZ and to Fiji. Fijian player with hand to the throat of NZ captain Lienard, not sure what the NZ player (blonde mop in midfield) who got sent did, other than need to be dragged away from the fracas by teammates but might have been out of shot, the Fijians were certainly incensed by him.
Brook-Smith heads home from close range after the keeper gets a weak hand to a corner. 2-1 NZ.
We've also subbed the very impressive Lienard from CB which surprises me.
Now Cardozo pokes home from close range to make it 3-1 with 20 or so to go.
Not our best day but otherwise an outstanding tournament, and it was nice to see Fiji be more competitive in the final (even if the goal and red cards situation weren't good for us)
In the big 3rd/4th playoff game hosts Tahiti lost on pens to New Caledonia. The match finished 1-1 after 90 minutes and New Caledonia prevailed 5-4 on penalties.
