KEY POINTS:
In 2004 Carlos Buzzetti steered Vanuatu to a victory which effectively killed off New Zealand Confederations Cup/World Cup soccer hopes.
Now in Auckland as coach of the Fijian under-20 side he will chase a repeat when Fiji play the Junior All Whites in the match of the Oceania tournament at Trusts Stadium tomorrow.
New Zealand beat Tahiti 2-0 yesterday with a goal in each half from Dan Keat and Chris James to retain their unbeaten run.
But having dropped points in their 1-1 opener with the Solomon Islands, they will need to beat Fiji to go to the top of the table and have a realistic chance of qualifying for the Fifa World Championship.
Fiji beat the Solomons 3-0 on Tuesday and had the bye yesterday.
In an interesting call, New Zealand coach Stu Jacobs left Jeremy Brockie on the bench for the first half yesterday.
New Caledonia beat Samoa 5-0 to move into third place with a two-win, one-loss record to keep their hopes alive. They still have to play Fiji and New Zealand.
In the other game, the Solomons played out their second draw, finishing 2-2 with Vanuatu.
