In their OFC Nations Cup encounter, the Solomon Islands Women's team demonstrated superior finishing efficiency, reflected in their 2-1 victory over Vanuatu Women. The Solomon Islands capitalized on their early opportunity, opening the score in the 17th minute, setting the tone for their aggressive first-half performance. Conversely, Vanuatu struggled to convert their possession into goals, despite having more corner kicks (8 vs. 2), highlighting a gap in their set-piece effectiveness.

Vanuatu's inability to equalize was compounded in the second half when the Solomon Islands extended their lead shortly after the break. While Vanuatu managed to narrow the deficit in the 81st minute, their effort fell short of altering the result. Their late goal was indicative of improved coordination, yet the timing suggested an urgency rather than strategic prowess. Additionally, with both teams registering one yellow card each, the match displayed a clean but competitive dynamic, with disciplined plays prevailing over reckless ones.

Statistical factors such as shots on target and goalkeeper saves were crucial, with the Solomon Islands' defense and goalkeeping proving more resilient under pressure. Although both teams had a similar number of offsides (1 each), the ability of the Solomon Islands to maintain a lead for over 70 minutes highlighted their superior tactical execution and defensive solidification. Vanuatu, despite their offensive initiatives reflected in corner kick dominance, could not breach the Solomon Islands’ well-organized backline effectively.
