Description

In a hard-fought Group B match, New Zealand and New Caledonia battled to a draw. Although New Zealand dominated possession and created more scoring opportunities, they couldn't break through New Caledonia's disciplined defence and quick counter-attacks. Both teams had significant chances to win the game, with New Caledonia's Ethan Dupuis and Lenddy Wede testing the New Zealand goalkeeper, while Cailean Hamilton and Jack Clegg came close for New Zealand. The result leaves both sides well-placed to advance to the semi-finals.
