00:00the atmosphere is electric and we are underway in the final match of the fifa series 2026
00:09the all-whites are kicking from left to right in this first half chile are actually the south
00:16american side new zealand have faced the most but they've never beaten them just cuts that out
00:23one stamina it's put that going for golfer range and alex pulson is called into action
00:30yeah with just over a minute gone an absolute rocket from dario asario what a shot and alex
00:37pulson getting up and having to be athletic to turn that over the bar uh great to see early in
00:42the game can't be easy for a keeper to beat this on this agile it's a real tester swerving in
00:48the air
00:48wasn't it it's in pain he's going to take this free kicker current wellington phoenix player
00:56stands poised to deliver
01:00is there something from this for the all-whites
01:06here it comes it's dead it's good and it's in but the flag has gone up the flag's gone up
01:17and as it stands it won't count i think it's tyler bindon who's got it in but the flag went
01:25up
01:26immediately let's see yeah he's off
01:32good header though yeah it was a great header it was a great piece of play was it was the
01:37right
01:37option for the free kick he just went a little early he had been wrestling with his chilean market just
01:42before that and maybe went a little early as a result now he's collected the underside of the
01:47chilean goalkeeper as well so a bit of a blow to the head but he seems to be okay
01:53here it comes
01:56don't quite make what he wanted from that one but they'll keep the pressure on here
02:01pain and old combining pain will flip across him that's not bad drops on the edge of the penalty
02:07here to randall
02:11still the pressure randall again bell was that handball screams from the crowd
02:19referee wasn't having any of it and they always do well to avoid a counter attack there
02:27and old drag back as he got away from his market joe bell asking where the card is you know
02:34if you're
02:35going to be consistent the referee there was a grab that bell committed earlier got a yellow card that
02:39was just as bad bad effort from randall but blocked away
02:46just i think either way here come chile
02:50need to make something themselves
02:55good pass from swaza to get them out of trouble and get the pressure off them and now chile can
03:01build
03:02themselves
03:0326 absorbing minutes here at eden park and fast it's nil nil but here's barbarousis was he put
03:12pulled back there he was and delio osario has already been yellow guarded and that's going to be
03:17the second red card of the tournament osario gets his marching orders for a second yellow card and the opportunity
03:25presents itself now for the all-whites with more than an hour to go of this game the all-whites
03:34are 11 against 10.
03:39Dario osario has seen rear the first uh was also for a foul on costa barbarousis where he
03:46caught him with his studs down the shin and now he's gone over the back of him similar to
03:50joe bell got carded earlier in the game and pulled him to ground but i don't think you can argue
03:54with
03:54either of those yellow cards but i tell you if he he gives up on football he could be a
03:59great act of it
04:00Because I almost believed him, looking at how he couldn't believe what that was for.
04:04And the All-Whites have to be patient.
04:06They have to work those angles.
04:08They have to work the widths.
04:10They have to pull the Chileans apart and make the space.
04:13And then use it effectively.
04:15Binden to Randall, hugging the touchline.
04:19Randall down the line to Old.
04:21Is he onside?
04:22The flag stays down.
04:24And it will be a corner kick.
04:27Great piece of play from the All-Whites.
04:29It's a patient build-up.
04:30It's what we were calling for in the first game.
04:33So a set-piece for the All-Whites.
04:36Payne on duty to deliver.
04:39The whole clutch of All-Whites players at the back of the six-yard box.
04:44Payne delivers.
04:46It's high, it's hanging.
04:47To the backbones, it's Marmarouss!
04:50And the All-Whites have the lead!
04:56Costa Marmarouss with a sweet volley.
04:59And it's All-Whites won!
05:01Chile now!
05:08Brilliantly swung in corner.
05:10Brilliantly swung in corner again from Tim Payne.
05:14And Costa Barbarouss is unmarked.
05:17Far post.
05:17Vollies that in.
05:19Chile.
05:20That is going to Costa them dearly.
05:25Fantastic finish.
05:26I mean, he was completely unmarked in the back post.
05:30But he had to hit that first time.
05:33It's a difficult skill to make sure he hit it low and down and into the corner.
05:38And that's exactly what he did.
05:40Fair play.
05:41Costa Barbarouss.
05:42He gets his tenth All-White goal.
05:48They're in the ascendancy.
05:49That's for sure.
05:50Stamonich flicks it on!
05:52Goalkeeper.
05:53Vigarou comes and collects.
05:56With Callum McCarrot lurking with intent.
06:01Stamonich knew what he was doing there.
06:02Just wanted to flick it into his path.
06:07Couldn't do so.
06:09But the intent was there.
06:12And here they go again.
06:13And Stamonich is through on goal here.
06:15Marko Stamonich!
06:16Good save by the goalkeeper.
06:19Denying his club teammate there.
06:23Stamonich can't believe it.
06:25Drops to his haunches.
06:27But the All-Whites causing them problems.
06:29They've taken the corner quickly as well.
06:32Trying to catch Chile.
06:33But this game, you can't take your eye off it.
06:38Here is Old.
06:42Finding Randall again.
06:45Randall, good skill.
06:47Good pace.
06:48Does he win the corner kick?
06:52Yes, he does.
06:56Tain's delivery.
06:57Into that six-yard box again.
06:59Drops to Joe Bell.
07:00He can hit them from here.
07:01Decides to put the cross in.
07:02And there's the!
07:03Second goal, no!
07:06Elijah Just is ruled offside.
07:12And the All-Whites have another goal ruled out.
07:17Be interesting to see the replay on this one.
07:19I do think there was a black shirt in front.
07:21But I don't know that's Elijah Just.
07:22What's his positioning like here?
07:25Well, Bell puts it back in.
07:29I wonder, you know.
07:30There is VAR.
07:31It will be checked.
07:35We better get the ruler out for this one.
07:38Here we go.
07:42Gabriel Suárez, I think it is playing Eli Just onside.
07:48Decision.
07:48Goal for the All-Whites.
07:53Elijah Just does get his ninth goal for Darren Baisley's team.
08:01And the All-Whites now with two minutes to go to half-time in total control.
08:09All-Whites two.
08:11Chile nil.
08:12And this is exactly what Darren Baisley and his coaching staff wanted to see from this team.
08:18It's goals.
08:19We said it before the game on Friday.
08:20I said it before the game here.
08:22They want to see goals.
08:23They want to be able to score without a certain Nottingham Forest striker in the team.
08:27And tonight we've got two in the first 45 minutes.
08:31Can they continue it on and see it out and get a valuable win?
08:35It would be a morale-boosting win as well for the All-Whites.
08:43As they get set for the World Cup.
08:46Barbarouss is always involved in that first half.
08:49That's a great ball.
08:50Jesse Randall in space inside the penalty.
08:54Randall goes for goal.
08:55It's blocked away.
08:56Dropped to Bell.
08:57And almost managed to get it out to Tim Payne.
09:01Just a bit too much on that one.
09:03But Jesse Randall for a second there looked like he was in for number three.
09:08Yeah, he did.
09:08He was found in plenty of space down the left-hand side.
09:11It was a fantastic ball from, I think it was from Callan McCowett.
09:14He runs onto it.
09:15Gets inside the penalty area.
09:17Cuts inside the full-back.
09:18Really needed to hit that first time.
09:20But just took a touch and then the block was on and they couldn't recycle.
09:23Going to get back into this game.
09:30There's something here for Chile.
09:32It's a really good play by Ben Holt.
09:34But he's been left on the deck.
09:36And the danger is still there.
09:37Chile looking to get back into this game here.
09:39Tim Payne read that well.
09:41Jesse Randall completes the clearance, was he fouled, referee says play on, players slipping
09:46all over the place here, and a real good battle there, Fikawa almost, almost getting the All
09:51Whites away.
09:53From Colson, one moment where he was a little bit risky with the ball at his feet, and that
09:59pass there which isn't his greatest ever, Chile will go for a goal, Colson makes the
10:04say, had to get down low, had to get down quickly, it's what he does offer, he's a very
10:10very good shot stopper, and right now Costa Barbarusas is looking to hound the Chilean defence.
10:19That wasn't the easiest pass for Sermon to deal with, or he did it well, Bell finds stamina
10:26in acres of space, encourages Old forward, Old's got Randall ahead of him, here he is, Jesse
10:32Randall, Old continues his run, Randall doesn't need him yet, still Randall goes, now Joe Bell
10:37head to the area, Bell clips it towards Barbarusas, across the face of goal, and it's number
10:44three, for Jesse Randall, following up at the back post like a good finish is to it, superb
10:53build-up play by the All Whites, and they are three nil up at Eden Park, All Whites three, Chile
11:02nil.
11:05It was really good, patient build-up here from the All Whites, Jesse Randall could have given
11:10that ball to Ben Old, but chose to go inside and then play that square ball to Joe Bell,
11:17who looked up, considered the options and found Costa Barbarusas, plenty of space, and the
11:21ball comes off the Chilean defender straight into the path of Randall, who has a simple tap-in
11:26to make it three nil.
11:30All at the back of the six-yard box again, waiting for this one.
11:34Here it comes, up go the heads, will drop here, for Wade, and there is number four for Ben
11:46Wayne, who took his chance with a block, and gives the All Whites a fourth goal here, All
11:58Whites 4, Chile nil.
12:01So much of the talk in the New Zealand media, and amongst New Zealand football fans, is the
12:07need to find goals in this All Whites team, and who is going to provide those goals when
12:12Chris Wood is not there.
12:14Until tonight, we haven't had an answer.
12:16Tonight, both the pretenders to that Chris Wood crown, and Ben Wayne and Costa Barbarusas,
12:22have got themselves on the score sheet, and you have to say, Darren Baisley will be wrapped.
12:27I think he's got his three front men that he's going to take to the World Cup.
12:33It's tough, isn't it?
12:35The down to ten men, four of them.
12:36You've got to feel a little bit sorry for the Chileans.
12:40They've been down to ten men for such a long time, and you know, what they face today
12:46is an All Whites team, even before the Red Card, that was full of energy, full of running,
12:52putting pressure on the ball at every opportunity.
12:55And they've just continued and continued in that vein.
12:59Just like that.
13:00The fans are loving it.
13:03That's a great tackle by Kellen Elliott.
13:05It just showed so much heart and desire to get across there and make that tackle.
13:09We haven't seen it.
13:11The centre-back pairing being split up.
13:16Bindan let that one through, and there's an opportunity here for Chile.
13:21Lovely footwork, and a consolation goal for the Chileans.
13:28Gonzalo Tapia finished with aplomb there.
13:33Gave the All Whites something to think about, didn't give up.
13:36Good footwork and a good finish, and they're on the board.
13:41It's All Whites 4, Chile 1.
13:44It's a big long ball straight from the goalkeeper, and Tyler just hasn't got there.
13:48He's planted a foot.
13:49He's tried to cut it out with an out-stretched foot.
13:51Hasn't done it.
13:52He'll be disappointed in himself.
13:54And it's hopefully disappointed, of course, not to keep a clean sheet there as well.
14:02Here's Finn Sermon.
14:03The clock ticks down.
14:05Five to go.
14:06Four-one to the All Whites.
14:09Maybe another one here for Wayne.
14:11It was a tough header.
14:13It was really enjoyable to watch.
14:16Four goals for the All Whites after a period of eight games without a win.
14:27This may be Wayne for five.
14:31No.
14:33He got his head onto it, but he just didn't have the accuracy.
14:36It's great movement from Ben Wayne, though.
14:38Great movement.
14:39Great move from the All Whites, and the way that he got up and found himself at that post,
14:43the way that he looped around and got on the end of this.
14:45Yeah, superb.
14:46Just need a little bit more on it.
14:50What a bad way to play your last match on home term before the World Cup.
14:58Is there one more flourish for the All Whites?
15:02Wayne.
15:05McGarry.
15:09There isn't, but it doesn't matter because the All Whites beat South American opposition
15:16for the first time in their history, and they do so in style.
15:20Ben Wayne, one of the goalscorers.
15:23Jesse Randall, Elijah Just, and Costa Barbarouss, who started it all off.
15:29The Chilean team together consolation through Gonzalo Tapia.
15:35But their night was undone, really, by the red card for Dario Osorio in the first half.
15:43The All Whites have put three points on the board at the FIFA series.
15:49They've scored four goals, and they have been thoroughly enjoyable to watch tonight.
15:56Have a great day.
15:56Can I see you tonight?
15:57scrum.
15:57Good night.
