2016 OFC U17 Women's Championship

This match will get underway today at the CIFA Academy at 1pm (PNG time).

PNG and New Zealand are the only teams to go through pool play without a defeat.

But after a first-up 7-1 drubbing of Vanuatu, PNG struggled a little, edging Cook Islands 2-1 before the draw with Fiji on Match Day 5.

Our girls will be banking on top striker in the tournament Belinda Giada to help them secure a win.

Giada scored a total of eight goals so far in the tournament, four goals against Vanuatu, two goals against Cook Islands and another two against Fiji.

The Rising star, who is based in Lae, has been performing very well with the highest number of goals scored in every game.

The Morobean has scored a total of eight goals so far in the tournament, four goals against Vanuatu, two against Cook Islands and another two against Fiji today.

Giada has represented PNG in a number of tournaments including the 2015 Pacific Games and 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China.

She has lived up to expectations with her attacking ability and is a strong contender for the Golden Boot Award.

PNG finished in a draw 2-2 today against Fiji who are also through to the semi-finals for group B.

Giada’s goals added two more points to her tally on the Golden Boot rankings.

The Morobean opened the score board goaling from behind and finishing neatly in the corner 30 minutes into the match.

Fiji struggled in the first half but failed to score which left the score 1-0 at half time.

A silly mistake from PNG three minutes into the second half saw Fiji level the score 1-1 when PNG put one into their own net after a cross came through.
