Fiji
VanuatuFiji struck early through Thomas Dunn in the 10th minute and then set about managing the contest, absorbing pressure and limiting Vanuatu's ability to build sustained attacks. Once ahead, Fiji's shape held firm, and Vanuatu struggled to find the quality in the final third to force an equalizer despite spells of pressure. Dunn's finish proved to be the difference-maker in what was otherwise a cagey, low-event affair with no cards shown and few clear-cut chances after the opener. For Fiji, the result is a confidence boost in a friendly context, while Vanuatu will be frustrated at failing to respond after going behind so early.
