Tevita Waranivalu scored Fiji’s goal in the first half.

Waranivalu was later red carded in the first half for an off the ball incident.

Ati Kepo and Tommy Semmy scored a goal each for PNG.

Fiji won their first match against New Caledonia 2-1 but was hammered 4-0 by New Zealand.

New Zealand and PNG have qualified for the semi-final.
