With the victory, New Zealand has advanced to the World Cup finals for the first time in 16 years following the 2010 South African Games. It is its third appearance.
As the number of participating countries expanded from 32 teams to 48 teams at the 2026 North-China World Cup, one ticket was allocated to Oceania region. Oceania, which had to have a playoff with other continents with 0.5 tickets, has earned one ticket entirely. Since Australia was incorporated into Asia, New Zealand, the absolute power of Oceania, has benefited from this.
New Zealand scored 19 goals in three group matches and allowed only one goal to clinch a win, before defeating Fiji 7-0 in the semi-finals of the playoffs. The team also defeated New Caledonia to advance to the finals for the first time in 16 years.
New Zealand, which finished 0-0 in the first half, were outscored by defender Michael Voxhall's header goal in the 16th minute of the second half.
New Zealand, which gained momentum, won by three goals in the 21st minute of the second half with consecutive goals from Costa Barbarouzis and Eliza Just in the 35th minute of the second half.
New Caledonia, which lost to New Zealand, will take on its last challenge to the continental playoffs.
China, ranked 90th in the FIFA rankings, showed a keen look when New Zealand, ranked 89th, confirmed its World Cup finals for the second time after Japan.
"The FIFA 89th-ranked country has been waiting for this moment for 16 years. I envy the Chinese national team," Chinese portal Wang Yi said while reporting on New Zealand's advance to the World Cup finals 메이저놀이터. "New Zealand benefited the most from the direct ticket to the finals in Oceania."
He then pointed out China's reality. "China is the lowest in the group with six points through the seventh round. If China loses to Australia on Saturday, it will lose the opportunity to go directly to the finals. China is highly likely to be eliminated as there are many variables in the playoffs." Still, he continued his hope, mentioning the enormous number of cases, saying, "If China wins at least seven points in the last three matches and Australia wins 13 points, and Saudi Arabia wins two points in the three matches, and Indonesia and Bahrain only win 10 points, China can miraculously advance to the finals as second place."
