Done very well PNG. We need more exposure into WC Football. Cheers

[@NoyShani-FLC]

Should have been 4 or 5-0, good job with a very young team!

[@bascilpakoa9388]

The png keeper is just to good..keep it up wantokz n heads up for the nxt match.

[@danielcuns9087]

Papua has a good goalkeeper

[@skyzaid263]

Nice effort from PNG, wasn’t a terrible result for them even though we dominated. Garbett seems like a beast, you can bet I’m watching the other 2 group stage matches

[@darrenelipas6948]

Please FIFA need to explain the penalty goal that were scored.
Is it Refrees fault? Or kapuls.

[@geoffmorgan2794]

PNGs for not standing on the ball!

[@ranjeshkumar4600]

Congrats for the first win

[@frankdonaldsasa6060]

Credit to PNG....the free kick was kinda result of a bad referring though

[@geoffmorgan2794]

A Bit like the yellow for playing the Ball And not one for the deliberate Trip????

[@gwensiria3237]

PNG lacks in all most departments. Another disadvantage for PNG is height. Any one coaching PNG team must customize PNG’s football. Barcelona style of football will definitely work.

[@mathewjr]

I think we are under estimating PNG with height too much.

[@selmonorebut6704]

Height doesn't necessarily it's not a basketball. Leo Messi Embape, Neymar, Sala, Sadio , are not that tall but they have skills and abilities to perform to that standard. I think PNG can do it if they have good coaching and very skillful players..

[@claude_s6424]

Porqué no se ahorran la molestia y dejan a Nueva Zelanda en el repechaje. Que jueguen unos 3 partidos de calentamiento para el repechaje y ya esta.

[@bernardkaiau7748]

PNG GOAL KEEPER IS VERY GOOD.Keep it up

[@nycliontwin24]

Great assist by the referee.

[@AviationNz13]

Let's go

[@CooManTunes]

HOW MANY OFC TITLES DOES NEW ZEALAND NEED TO WIN, IN ORDER TO GAIN A MOVE TO THE AFC??? FIFA IS STUPID. AUSTRALIA ISN'T ASIAN.

[@takehirolol5962]

Australia is way beyond OFC level...

[@learningvideosbynikhil8308]

I mean this looked like an afc game I guess because it was played in Qatar 🇶🇦 and the conditions too

[@ydkman]

OFC shouldn't exist. Starting in 2026 OFC will have a direct qualification spot to world cup. That is just absurd.

[@brettseriba3125]

David Browne's inclusion in the PNG team will help Tommy Semmy in attack should see PNG smash NZ 5-0

[@mattp2695]

You are out of your mind if you believe that

[@corindateresitalopezgonzal5268]

OFC vs Concacaf el clasico ...

[@mrhiggins3009]

Get the W and move on to the next. I like this team they are trying to attack.

[@arsmith9141]

NZ dominance PNG needs to work really hard on defense and attacking 🧐🧐

[@CHILLVIBES_STUDIO437]

Their defense is ok, not great but ok. They should really be focusing on their attack.

[@clivewurr5469]

Should fire the ref . Otherwise great game.

[@xavierfranzoia6633]

exciting team NZ they miss Ryan Thomas and Wood their best two attacking marquee players

[@takehirolol5962]

Interesante, si así le juega el resto a Nueva Zelanda...

[@rosscleavercleaver6633]

Good start boys

[@CHILLVIBES_STUDIO437]

Fifa, is a joke not in a bad way. They should let the top team from, the OFC qualify for the world cup. Why do the winners have to go play against other federations to qualify.

[@flamesnz3046]

Garrbett is great

[@SuperJuniorquintero]

For argument sake, New Zealand's All Whites should come out of OFC. But can they beat a team like Panama? if it's Panama.

[@skintrader100]

Being this was All Whites B team no. But All Whites first team could give Panama a fright. They won’t travel well to here either but we will still be huge underdogs

[@well_i_liked_it]

@@skintrader100 how will they still be "huge underdog's"? Panama dont have any players playing in the premiership or bundesliga. I suspect if NZ win they will prob play USA or Costa Rica.

[@skintrader100]

@@well_i_liked_it They do actually. One of there players plays for Everton and another is in the Bundesliga and the rest of the player play in better leagues than the All Whites do. I think Canada, USA and Mexico will qualify and the All Whites will play either Panama or Costa Rica.

[@well_i_liked_it]

@@skintrader100 They do not have anyone playing in the premiership, Waterman does not play for Everton , he had a loan spell in 2021 where he scored 6 goals in 21 games. I would say Wood and Reid with over 350 premiership appearances between them are much more formidable than anything Panama has not to Mention Sarpreet Singh on the books of Bayern Munich. Not to mention Libby Cacace currently on loan for Empoli in the Serie A and Matt Garbett playing for Torino. Most of the Panama team is playing in Panama or Colombia which i would not call better.

[@skintrader100]

@@well_i_liked_it Panama FIFA ranked 63 - New Zealands 111. Reid is past his best and if Wood is injured during the playoffs as he was against Peru we have no chance. Regardless the 4th placed North American team will be heavy favourites to get past the All Whites.

[@mikebarton]

Good result.

[@AviationNz13]

[@SpectreRyomi7531]

I don't know why they play if they won't qualify

[@souptec]

Deh! How do they know if they will qualify if the don't play.

[@draganserdar8140]

Panama, Mexico ,will stop them,

[@elemenopnz]

From that it looks like it would have been 4~0 to nz with wood, bell, cacace etc.

[@veneoveneo1176]
