The match kicks off
1' Vanuatu have the early ball and press forward
1' Jean Kaltak nearly has a chance immediately but can't control the ball in the box
2' Solomon Islands have a corner but Jimmy Raramane's kick does not fall to a team mate
3' Some heavy rain fell in Auckland yesterday but it has done the pitch plenty of good and the conditions are suited to good football today, although there is a strong wind blowing across the pitch
6' The wind is in Solomon Islands' favour but the opening stages have been even
7' Michel Coulon has a good chance when he volleys a Tony Kaltak cross at goal but his strike goes straight to goalkeeper Jerry Misimake
11' Jean Kaltak hits another volley at goal for Vanuatu but again Misimake can make an comfortable save
13' GOAL!!! Solomons Islands 1, Vanuatu 0: Harrison Mala crosses from the left for Solo Kuki to finish off at the back post
16' Alex Waimora makes room for a shot for Solomon Islands with some good skill in the box but his effort goes wide
19' Jean Kaltak suffers an injury for Vanuatu and play is held up while he receives treatment
20' Kaltak has to leave the field as the physio attends further to his injury
21' Jean's brother Tony Kaltak has a strike for Vanuatu from just inside the area but it again goes to close to Misimake and he saves without much bother
23' Jimmy Raramane bends a free kick in for Solomon Islands but the Vanuatu defence clears
25' Jean Kaltak thinks he is in on goal for Vanuatu but is ruled offside
26' GOAL!!! Solomon Islands 2, Vanuatu 0: The Solomons are now making good use of the wind and go further in front when an Alex Waimora pass finds Harrison Mala in a good position in the box and he makes no mistake with his finish
30' Vanuatu have a steep hill to climb but will have the wind in their favour in the second half so this game is far from over
32' Jimmy Raramane finds Harrison Mala with a well placed through ball but Vanuatu defend well to hal Mala in the box
34' Santino Mermer and Jean Kaltak exchange passes for Vanuatu during some sharp interplay but the move fails to end in the opportunity it deserved
38' Solomon Islands have a great chance to score a third when a brilliant through ball from Alex Waimora puts Harrison Mala one-on-one with Selonie Iaruel but the Vanuatu goalkeeper makes a good save
42' Mala has another chance but it is a much more difficult one this time as the ball breaks to him on the edge of the box and he snaps a shot wide
44' Vanautu are seeing plenty of the ball in the closing stages of the half but have not created any chances since those earlier efforts
45' One minute of injury time will be played
The first comes to an end
The second half kicks off
46' Play is held up while Vanuatu goalkeeper Iaruel receives treatment for an injury
48' Iaruel is back on his feet and appears fit enough to continue
49' Vanuatu now have the strong wind behind their backs and will have to take advantage of it if they are to get back into this game
50' Waimora is picked out in the Vanuatu box by a Gabriel Bosi pass but is tackled before he can shoot
52' Solomon Islands very nearly go three in front when Mala gets in on goal but Iaruel makes a good save to deny him at close range
55' Solomon Islands push forward but the offside flag is raised
56' SUBSTITUTION: Gabriel Bosi is replaced by Oswin Bwagi for Solomon Islands
60' SUBSTITUTION: Jean Kaltak is replaced by George Mahit for Vanuatu
66' Raoul Coulon whips a dangerous free kick over from the right for Vanuatu but goalkeeper Misimake comes out to acrobatically punch it away
69' SUBSTITUTION: Michel Coulon is replaced by Steve Lolten for Vanuatu
70' SUBSTITUTION: Solo Kuki is replaced by Clarence Bonsley for Solomon Islands
74' Harrison Mala shows great skill and pace to create room for a cross on the right but he can't find a Solomons team mate with his delivery
78' SUBSTITUTION: Tony Kaltak is replaced by Daniel Tenene for Vanuatu
81' Possession has been shared fairly evenly between the sides in this half but Vanuatu have not created many chances and it loos like the bronze medal will be going to Solomon Islands unless Vanuatu can find a goal threat from somewhere
84' Raramane has a good opportunity to add to Solomon Islands' lead with an effort at the back post but the ball bobbles just as he hits it and goes wide
84' SUBSTITUTION: Harrison Mala is replaced by Fredrick Dola for Solomon Islands
88' Vanuatu are running out of time now and despite showing plenty of endeavour are not looking likely to find a way back into the match
90' Most of the play is taking place in the Solomon Islands' half but Vanuatu are struggling to break down their defence
90' Four minutes of injury time will be played
90' + 1' Raoul Coulon shoots wide for Vanuatu when Misimake punches a Steve Lolten corner to him on the edge of the box
The final whistle is blown
