Description

Papua New Guinea staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Tahiti in their second Group A match Despite Tahiti taking an early lead through Tiatau Vauquelin, Papua New Guinea equalised just before halftime with an own goal from Tahiti's Raitua Tehio. After the break, Papua New Guinea surged ahead, scoring two quick goals through Peter Yagum and Leighton Enoch. Striker Boas Tommy then sealed the victory and earned a hat-trick, with his second goal coming from a penalty. The dominant win leaves Papua New Guinea on four points and well-placed for a semi-final spot, while Tahiti’s hopes of progression are effectively over.
