Lorenzo Tehau netted four goals as Tahiti thrashed Samoa 10-1 in their Group A clash at Lawson Tama Stadium in Honiara.

Jonathan and Alvin Tehau each netted a brace, while Teaonui Tehau also got his name on the scoresheet as the family shared nine goals between them.

Steevy Chong Hue made it 6-0 on the hour-mark before Samoa scored a consolation through Silao Malo 10 minutes later.

But Tahiti finished strongly, scoring four times in the final 12 minutes to cap off an emphatic win.

In the other Group A clash, New Caledonia brushed aside Vanuatu 5-2 thanks to Bertrand Kai's hat-trick.

Vanuatu were level after 61 minutes as Robert Tasso and Jean Naprapol cancelled out Kai's brace.

But Georges Gope-Fenepej restored New Caledonia's advantage before Kai and Roy Kayara ended any chance of a Vanuatu comeback.

The second round of World Cup qualifying also acts as the group stages of the OFC Nations Cup.
