01:00
Maria Veronica and Liana Soifor, the two captains, leading their teams out onto the HFC Bank Stadium here in Suva.
01:11
Wonderful conditions.
01:13
Beautiful weather.
01:14
A dramatic change from the conditions we faced on Thursday afternoon in the semifinals where it was cold and rainy.
01:24
But we've been treated to some great weather here in the last day of competition in the OFC Women's Nations Cup 2025.
01:34
We've been treated to some great football over the course of the tournament.
01:38
And so many players have stepped up to the plate as far as representing their nations.
01:45
And of course, these two teams will look to restore pride as we stand by for the national anthems.
01:51
To hear for Samoa.
01:52
Dao Singh has been impressive for them too in this tournament.
01:56
From the corner, she sends it in.
02:01
Not quite on that occasion.
02:04
Lemba gets it back for Fiji.
02:06
Loses her foot and gets back up.
02:08
Sends it to Nassau.
02:15
Well, they were under pressure on that occasion.
02:17
Fiji Singh.
02:19
Does well.
02:22
Links up with Bakanideva, who pushes it across for Singh.
02:27
But Baptista did well on defense for Samoa.
02:32
Fiji have got it back.
02:34
Through Tambua.
02:36
Out wide.
02:36
It goes for Naweni.
02:38
One of the new inclusions into the starting lineup here.
02:43
There, Manasau.
02:45
She strikes it.
02:47
But Ami and Naya.
02:49
Great work.
02:51
And goalkeeper for Samoa.
02:53
That's what you need from Fiji.
02:54
I know they are probing.
02:56
And that's why you need some speed on the flanks.
03:00
And that's what Kassanita Tambua will look to provide on the right.
03:03
But imagine if you had the experience of Trina Davis up front.
03:08
I still believe that she is underutilized in this Fijian side.
03:17
And that's why Kassanita Tambua challenged for that ball.
03:20
Did very well to get the position back for Fiji.
03:24
But Riyana Kiteona does well for Samoa.
03:32
Baptista looking for Tayo Li'i.
03:38
Kiteona sends it across.
03:40
Dalsing!
03:41
It's good for Samoa!
03:43
What a start from Team Samoa in this third-place playoffs.
03:55
The creativity in the goal.
03:59
Absolutely wonderful.
04:01
Great work by Samoa.
04:06
Working in from the right into Dalsing.
04:11
Look at the space in that defense.
04:13
So much time to control and then rifle the shot through.
04:17
That was really good from Dalsing.
04:19
Look at so much space.
04:21
So much time.
04:22
Fijian defenders couldn't get...
04:24
Fijian, Mbenasel in a tussle of their own.
04:29
Radea has it.
04:33
Wanganindrola.
04:37
Veronika, their captain, looking to inspire this Fiji team who are trailing by one goal.
04:42
And again, Samoa doing very well to cut them off.
04:46
Lili with another chance here.
04:48
She takes her time, is composed, and just tries to create play.
04:52
Then she strikes it!
04:54
That is good from Lili Dalsing.
04:56
A double for her in this match.
04:59
And Samoa are on fire.
05:04
Oh, just too good.
05:06
Samoa celebrating.
05:10
Lovely work that time.
05:12
Dalsing fared well.
05:14
Again, the defense let her set that up well.
05:19
And then floating it, getting the help of the framework and into the goal.
05:25
Brilliant work by Lili Dalsing.
05:28
She is really turning the heat on in Suba.
05:32
Defense war.
05:36
Chance here for Fiji early in the second half.
05:39
Likuduludula steps up.
05:40
Sends it across.
05:41
It hits the bar.
05:44
Samoa clear it through Tua-Tangaloa.
05:51
Fiji.
05:55
Here's Nemanasao.
05:57
Sends it across for Singh.
05:59
It comes for Lemba.
06:01
She controls it.
06:03
Lemba.
06:05
She shattered across as well.
06:07
That was a good chance for Fiji.
06:12
Set-piece free kick.
06:13
Coleta Likuduludula.
06:15
Creshing them against the crossbar.
06:17
So, the second opportunity here in this second half for Fiji.
06:31
It's a Likuduludula.
06:33
So, the corner flag, just an indication of how windy it is out on the field of play.
06:44
Particularly blowing in from the Lodala Bay end of the HFC Bank Stadium.
06:51
It's been quite cold in the capital city, particularly towards the afternoon.
06:58
There's Likuduludula.
07:05
An opportunity for Fiji to strike here.
07:09
Likuduludula sends it in.
07:16
Tapped away.
07:18
He's after it.
07:21
Maria.
07:24
Lemba Nassau over the top.
07:26
Looking for Trina Davis is racing onto it.
07:31
Davis.
07:31
Very quick as Likuduludula.
07:37
And Anaya.
07:40
Quickly to sing.
07:44
Back to Makanideva.
07:46
Fiji.
07:49
The bulk of possession in this second half.
07:51
They hit it through.
07:52
And Anaya again stops there.
07:54
We'll take a lot of the positives from this tournament.
07:57
And build the side, particularly with the World Cup qualifiers at the end of the year.
08:05
We'll head back to Samoan coach.
08:07
He's done a great job.
08:11
With this Samoan side, they were fantastic.
08:15
Not only on attack with Lili Dowsing and her two goals.
08:18
But defense was absolutely sensational.
08:20
Well, Samoan, first time ever with the bronze medal here at the OFC Women's Nations Cup 2025.
08:29
And coming up, of course, is the big Melanesian showdown when P&G will take on the Solomon Islands.
08:36
Be sure to join us at 6.45 local time.
