Highlights

Goal of the tournament? Two left-footed curlers have laid down markers for the rest to beat. First, from the edge of the box, Kosanovic arrowed a free-kick around the wall and into the bottom corner. Then, from the right, Diaby’s sublime strike found the inside of the netting.

Ten memorable minutes Pirae were 3-0 down at half-time and it could have been worse. After some words of inspiration from coach Naea Bennet, however, they came out fighting. The Tahitians produced some intricate passing to pressure their opponents into scoring an own-goal. Tehotu Gitton then fired a free-kick on target, before Heimano Bourebare sizzled with some delightful footwork as the amateurs admirably had their fully professional adversaries on the ropes for a period.

Stats

8 Kosanovic has now incredibly scored eight free-kicks in the last 18 months. The 31-year-old centre-back’s only other goal during the period was a header. 3 Al Jazira registered the joint-biggest victory in the opening match of a FIFA Club World Cup. Al Wahda beat Hekari United 3-0 in the 2010 curtain-raiser.

Quote

“Pirae showed a good level and defended well, but our early goal gave us the platform to score more and control the pace of the match. We think about each match separately and focus on what is in front of us only. We will give everything we have against Al Hilal.” Mohamed Jamal


Did you know?

Pirae players Heirauarii Salem, Roonui Tinirauarii and Avearii Bennett are cousins.
