New Caledonia v New Zealand | Final | OFC U-16 Men's Championship 2025 | Highlights

New Zealand successfully defended their title, defeating New Caledonia in the final. Their victory was built on an impenetrable defence, highlighted by goalkeeper Joseph Chalabi's remarkable achievement of not conceding a single goal throughout the entire tournament. Although New Caledonia created some early scoring opportunities, including a shot that struck the post, New Zealand broke the deadlock just before halftime with a goal from Jack Clegg. Despite New Caledonia's persistent efforts in the second half to find an equalizer, New Zealand's backline held firm. Ben Perez-Baldoni then sealed the win with a final goal just before the final whistle.
