Match Recap
New Caledonia struck first through W. Read in the 40th minute, but Fiji clawed their way back in this Friendlies clash to snatch a 2-1 win. S. Wara leveled things just five minutes after the break, and M. Dau turned the game on its head in the 66th, sealing the comeback with a goal that mattered far more than its scoreline suggests. Neither side sits near J. Vélez, the division's current top scorer with five goals, but this was never about the golden boot race, it was about who wanted it more after going behind. Fiji found that response, absorbing New Caledonia's early punch and answering twice inside a decisive twenty-minute spell. For a friendly, it played out with real stakes on the pitch. Watch how Fiji flip the momentum after Read's opener, and see Dau's 66th-minute strike land the winner.
