The Solomon Islands recorded a 3-1 win over Vanuatu in an international friendly at Honiara’s Lawson Tama Stadium this afternoon.
Following a swift counterattack, skipper Benjamin Totori had set up Dennis Ifunaoa to give the home side the lead in the 17th minute but Vanuatu responded just two minutes later to level the scores courtesy of a Kensi Tangis header.
In the second half Micah Lea’alafa came off the bench to make an instant impact as he latched onto a through ball from Totori to slot home in the 53rd minute before Joses Nawo capped the win twenty minutes later.
Solomon Islands will next travel to Taiwan to face Chinese Taipei on Sunday.
