Many attempts by Papua New Guinea in the first half shook the Solomon Islands side before flanker Nigel Dabinyaba found an opening at the corner for a cross which Michael Fosters who was in front of the goal mouth dribbled to confuse the opposition before slamming home the first goal of the match.
However, Solomon Islands retaliated seven minutes later with a corner kick from striker Judd Molea that curved right through the corner post slipping off PNG goal keepers hand Ronald Warrisan to even the scores at 1-1.
Second half is underway to find who will play the New Zealand All Whites in the OFC Nations Cup Grand Finals.
