Tahiti maintained their unbeaten record at the OFC Beach Soccer Nations Cup with a crushing 10-0 victory over New Caledonia in their final round-robin clash.
The Tiki Toa rested skipper Raimana Li Fung Kuee and the injured Ariihau Teriitau but still cruised to a fourth straight victory on home soil in Papeete.
Heimanu Taiarui opened the scoring in the first minute with a sensational chest and volley and completed his hat-trick inside 25 minutes, while Gervais Chan Kat, Teaonui Tehau, Heiarii Tavanae, Tearii Labaste and Patrick Tepa also got on the scoresheet.
