FANATIK: Reprezentacija ispala jer im je protivnik zakasnio na utakmicu

Stvari komplicira činjenica da je Tuvalu zakasnio na utakmicu protiv Papue Nove Gvineje pa je ista automatski registrirana 3:0 u njihovu korist. S druge strane, nisu zakasnili na dvoboj s Vanuatom koji je slavio sa 6:0 i zbog bolje gol razlike prošao dalje.

A bizarre and cruel elimination for Papua New Guinea at the Pacific Games. After drawing with Vanuatu they lose out to them on goal difference in their 3-team group because Tuvalu didn't arrive in time for their game giving them a 3-0 win by default opposed to Vanuatu's 6-0! pic.twitter.com/GNuWTea3GD— Paul Watson (@paul_c_watson) November 23, 2023
