Description
Marie Kaipu's two first-half goals propelled defending champions Papua New Guinea to an opening victory over Samoa. Marie Kaipu's dominant performance marked by a brilliant solo effort and a composed finish set the tone. Samoa fuelled by the Salanoa sisters in the second half half, staged a late comeback with Xevani Salanoa finding the net. Despite the late scare, Papua New Guinea secured the win, though Samoa's spirited play and strong goalkeeping from Xeyana Salanoa ensured a competitive match.
