2010 FIFA WORLD CUP SOUTH AFRICA™ - VANUATU vs NEW CALEDONIA PHOTO GALLERY
Monday, 16 June 08, 10:19 AM
PORT VILA - Vanuatu and New Caledonia fought out a 1-1 stalemate in Port Vila at the weekend as both nations sought to bolster their respective 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™/OFC Nations Cup 2008 campaigns.
The draw preserved New Caledonia's unbeaten record but heaps pressure on coach Didier Chambaron and his team with two matches to play against New Zealand where nothing less than six points will keep their World Cup hopes alive.
New Zealand has three wins from three matches and one more victory will be enough to propel Ricki Herbert's charges into a two-legged play-off with the fifth placed team in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for a place at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ and FIFA Confederations Cup - South Africa 2009 as winners of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) Nations Cup 2008.
Vanuatu remain winless after three matches but the draw is enough to lift them one spot in the table above Fiji.
