New Zealand’s Futsal Whites are into the final of the OFC Futsal Cup in Fiji after an impressive 6-1 semi-final win against New Caledonia.
The New Caledonians contained the Futsal Whites for most of the first half, with the New Zealanders leading by 1-0 at the break.
However, the New Zealanders took control in the second spell to comfortably progress to the tournament final against the Solomon Islands who beat the Fiji FA Presidents Five 5-1 in the second semi-final.
