The Solomon Islands women’s futsal team secures victory in Match Day 3 of the OFC Futsal Women’s Nations Cup, winning their second match against Tonga with a decisive 2:0 scoreline.

Winning their second match is crucial for the Solomon Islands team, especially after a disappointing loss in their first game against Tahiti.

It demonstrates their resilience and ability to learn from setbacks, making a strong statement about their determination to succeed. Securing this win can also reignite the support and confidence of their fans, reinforcing the team’s resolve as they move forward in the tournament.

The host had a slow start, both teams had opportunities in the first half. However, it was goalless at the half-time.

Tonga’s defense was strong. The Solomon Islands continued pressuring the Tongan side in the second half until captain Ileen Pegi managed to find two chances and scored both goals to win the game.

Ileen Pegi was awarded the Player Of The Match against Tonga.

Such a comeback is a powerful reminder from the ladies to everyone that persistence and hard work can turn the tide in any challenge.

This remarkable triumph not only highlights the skill and determination of the ladies but the respect and passion they have for futsal.

This win sets a strong foundation for their next game against a tough New Zealand side, boosting the team’s confidence and encouraging greater support for women’s futsal in the Solomon Islands.
