Fiji’s coach, Jerry Sam acknowledges the need for swift improvement following their 7-2 defeat against New Zealand on Monday.

“We don’t put our heads down yet. We do believe that we can make it into the semis and the game against Vanuatu as I said is a must win for us and a do-or-die for us, so like I said we have to do it in a hard way. Anything can happen in a way that we regroup, and we fight together, nothing is impossible, so teamwork is more important than individuals.”

The match start at 6pm and you can watch live on FBC Sports.
