PORT MORESBY, July 5 – Fiji broke the record for the biggest win in international football history with a 38-0 victory over Federated Staes of Micronesia at the Bisini Ground on Sunday.
The Fijians clearly had the world record in their sights from kickoff, motivated by Micronesia’s 30-0 defeat to Tahiti in their previous match in Pool A of the Port Moresby 2015 Pacific Games soccer competition. Fiji took a 21-0 lead into halftime, prompting Micronesia to replace the goalkeeper Walter Pengelbew with outfield player Dominic Gadad in an attempt to stem the tide. Though Gadad fared slightly better than his predecessor he still conceded another 17 goals after the break. It meant Fiji easily broke the record set in 2001 when Australia beat American Samoa 31-0

Fantastic coverage thanks and congratulations for what is easily the best Pacific Games opening ceremony. I work for a Pacific Radsio Station and am looking for contact details for all the Pacific liaison officers for all the teams so our language programme producers can update their listeners daily from Auckland.
