Untidy All Whites claim first win of World Cup qualifying tournament (New Zealand Herald)

The All Whites are underway with a win at the OFC World Cup qualifying tournament, though not without a bit of a struggle.

The goal was the product of smart work from Garbett, who released Ingham and caught out the PNG defence. Their lack of combinations and cohesiveness showed through in the first half. The substitutes sparked the All Whites and the breakthrough came in the 75th minute, after a quickly taken free kick. The All Whites eventually settled and were unlucky not to open the scoring in the 35th minute, with Garbett denied by a point blank save from the veteran Warisan. The Italian based midfielder connected well with a Dalton Wilkins cross, but his shot from six yards was directed straight at Warisan. It was an inexperienced unit. Coach Danny Hay opted for a 4-3-3 formation.
