Oceania Nations Cup

Twenty-five players have been called in for the camp in Port Moresby to prepare for the Oceania Football Confederation Nations Cup starting in May.

PNG coach Flemming Serritslev said all players are selected from the National Soccer League and he has seen very good players emerge from this competition.

The team will play two friendly matches in Solomon Islands followed by three matches in South Korea as part of their lead-up preparation.

The final training camp will be in Moresby a week before the event.

PNG were slow to find their form while Tahiti dominated possession early on.

Anthony Tesquet had a chance to score first points for Tahiti but his penalty kick fell short.

PNG got the ball rolling midway through the first half when a break out on the wing saw Jacky Marcus dive over to score.

An unsuccessful conversion from Nigel Genia left the score at 5-0.

Genia got it right the second time, kicking a penalty goal to extend PNG’s lead.
