The All Whites have hit Fiji for seven, and booked their place in the OFC World Cup qualifying final at Eden Park on Monday night. Make sure you join us again on Tribe for live coverage of that. It's been a pleasure bringing you all the goals and action from Sky Stadium in Wellington tonight. For now, Harrison Ryburn signing out.
Job done by the All Whites tonight, who remained focused and put Fiji to the sword. They were far too good for their opponents tonight, completley bossing the possession and territory stats, and continually pulling apart the Fijian defence with some of their movement and passing accuracy. Wood was the star of the show with a hat-trick of headers, but he was ably supported by some superb delivery from Tim Payne, and the playmaking skills of Sapreet Singh through the middle. Bell and Stamenic didn't feature a lot, but were pivotal in picking apart space down the flanks and around the box for the All Whites to get forward. It's another confidence-boosting result against OFC opposition, and New Zealand look primed for a World Cup spot with a win over New Caledonia on Monday.
Full-time in Wellington and the All Whites have put themselves within a game of the 2026 World Cup with a huge seven-goal drubbing of Fiji. It was a romp for New Zealand tonight, led by a hat-trick from captain and star striker Chris Wood. Sapreet Singh, Tim Payne, and Kosta Barbarouses all joined him on the scoresheet, and the All Whites will now move on to face New Caledonia at Eden Park on Monday night for a spot in their third World Cup.
90+3'
Barbarouses wins a corner down the right wing, and De Vries whips it into the near post. Fiji manage to get it clear though, and Roux resets with possession back near halfway. McCowatt gets involved but runs into McMullen. The Bula Boys launch it long.
90+2'
Baravilala sends the throw long into the area, but it doesn't find a teammate, and rolls over the byline for a goal kick. Crocombe hoofs it long back over halfway, with some of the crowd starting to drift away.
90+1'
Into five minutes of injury-time at the end of this one, and Narayan launches the ball long downfield from the goal kick. Roux wins it back for the All Whites, but comes under pressure, and concedes a throw.
+5
90'
CHANCE! Just and McCowatt link up down the left, before the latter whips a delivery into the back post. It falls for the head of Roux, but he can't keep his header down, and nods it over the top of the crossbar.
88'
WAINE MISSES! A blemish for the All Whites! The substitute steps up to take the penalty, but gets it all wrong, and side-foots his effort past the bottom right corner on his right foot. It's a poor penalty, but it won't matter in the grand scheme of things given the scoreline.
