The premier league record for most keeper saves in a match is 14, so despite conceding 9, his performance was heroic

2 nations from Oceania quality, so always new zealand and the best island nation.

And it’s important to mention that any good enough player to be called up to the France NT cannot play New Caledonia afterward. While not as bountiful as other French islands like Martinique or Gouadeloupe (Henry, Martial…) they formed some absolute elite player like Karambeu, Kombouare or Zimako. And of course a ton of great rugby players

We’ve got so many players that we’re now sending our regions to play in international competitions. World Cup, Gold Cup, Confederations Cup, Indian Ocean games…

Oceania.

Also last time they qualified they drew against Japan so yeah it’s a bit unexpected too

Yeah, it’s worth noting OFC has had some fantastic results at age-group tournaments.

Fiji beating Honduras 3-0 in the 2015 U20 World Cup was a huge one, and Vanuatu taking Germany all the way (losing 3-2) in 2017 U20s was big too

I’d love to see a map of the shots, I bet a lot of them were outside the box

More wild that every 5-6 touches was a shot? only 500 passes seems low

Will sound weird but N.C set up as well as they could’ve, really.

6-4-0 stack the box, close off shooting lanes. Goals ended up coming from set pieces.

Keeper did well too, at 15 years of age.
