Description

Tahiti secured fifth place, coming from behind to defeat the host nation, the Solomon Islands. The Solomon Islands initially took the lead in the 12th minute with a header from Junior Sam. However, Tahiti responded quickly, with Tiaitau Vauquelin scoring twice and Thomas Pita-Bougues adding another goal just before halftime to give them a commanding lead. In the second half, a late goal from the Solomon Islands' substitute Ajay Ufaria narrowed the gap, but Tahiti’s defence held firm against mounting pressure from the home team, allowing them to clinch the victory and a fifth-place finish.
