This match between the New Caledonia and Solomon Islands as part of the Pacific Games had a rather stirring display of talent and strategy. The game ended with New Caledonia winning by a narrow one-goal margin, ensuring a riveting match from start to finish.

One of the key statistical factors from this game was the superior goal conversion rate of the New Caledonian team. With a total of 6 shots on target, their conversion rate was one-third, as opposed to Solomon Islands' quarter rate with 4 shots on target. Although Solomon Islands had one more shot on goal off target, yet it failed to increase their goal tally.

In terms of defense, Solomon Islands goalkeeper's performance was noteworthy with 4 saves in comparison to 3 by New Caledonia. However, it was not enough to win the match since New Caledonia was able to convert 2 successful attempts into goals.

Considering the control and command over the game, New Caledonia held a tactical edge over Solomon Islands as they were forced to make 3 substitutions, implying some form of dissatisfaction or fatigue in their performance. In contrast, New Caledonia made only a single substitution, showcasing continuity and trust in their original starting eleven.

Fouls and disciplinary actions were held to a minimum by both teams, with neither receiving any yellow or red cards. The home team, however, committed 15 fouls which were significantly higher than their counterparts who committed only 12. An interesting trend by both teams showed their willingness to explore their wing-play, resulting in New Caledonia having 5 corner kicks and Solomon Islands even more with 6.

In summary, despite having less possession and relatively more fouls, New Caledonia's better goal conversion ratio and fewer substitutions laid the foundation for their victory. Whereas Solomon Islands, despite more setup plays and goalkeeper saves, failed to seize essential goal scoring opportunities. The tactical output of each team provides interesting insights for bettors considering future games involving these teams.
