So proud to see my people play ❤💛💙

💪💪

[@thomasedwardking7286]

Gotta say NZ was lucky to get the draw. But the DRC Boys are fine sportsmen 💪

[@rosspreston8361]

we had some good chances at the end - draw fair result

[@danielmbwaka7501]

DRC played well, they should have scored more goals

[@Essexkiwi]

And so should have NZ. They deserved more goals too. And yes: DRC played well.

[@AJ_Johnson.]

Neither side really had any clear opportunities. Both goals only came from defensive errors. So it’s a fair result, was a pretty boring game tbh

It looked like a fun game with some complex interplay and pace from both teams, combined with mediocre finishing and 2 goals coming from defensive blunders. Good luck to both teams in their upcoming games.

Congo should’ve won, we need more stars. World Cup 2026 we must be in it

that wasn't a fault no penalty we got robbed

Definitely got robbed

Well played both teams, this is why New Zealand will always be the power house in Oceania football. Unlike other OFC nations like Vanuatu, they are not afraid to play friendlies against non OFC opposition.

[@rosspreston8361]

maybe because we can afford to, unlike other OFC nations

[@thomasedwardking7286]

Given their size and the resources they have, I really respect our fellow OFC nations. There's a lot of talent in that Big Beautiful Blue ocean we call the Pacific 🌴 💪😎

LOL that looked like a dive from Chris Wood and Congo looked like the better team.

[@DavidTheConqueror543]

Was VAR used in this game? That PK is very suspicious.

[@bornagaingg6223]

Congo defended well but they’re still vulnerable at the back, they do need to however be more efficient in attack, could’ve easily scored four goals this game.

[@cihat5361]

BAKAMBUUUUU 🇹🇷🇹🇷

How is that a penalty ???

[@fabmanly1070]

Chris Woods has been an amazing player for NZ. But! * Are we ever going to develop a striker or two while he still plays? * Will he be around for the next cup? Surely not, if so New Zealand football is in a very sad state. * Why aren’t there any new strikers being given the chance to grow with this new team

[@rdckongo8511]

Is that a penalty?? I don’t think so, but anyway I’m proud of you guys Congo 🇨🇩

How is that a penalty?

[@abdallaholivier8203]

I don't think that was a penalty anyway friendly game Drc goalkeeper is good

[@fabmanly1070]

So 9 moving forward clipped his right toe on the rear/calf of 24. Lifting both feet from the ground, in a falling motion. 24 leans into 9 with his hip. 24 only puts his left leg in front after 9 is falling. Conclusion: 9 milked a penalty, but that’s what all forwards do. Call out FIFA for allowing this to happen. 9 got away with it, like most do. Slow the play down to 0.25 speed on your phone/ iPad. Check the play from 3.00min mark in a stop go.

[@alitam6587]

No chris wood No party

[@moseschansachansa5407]

That wasn't a penalty in a million years. The guy dived. Why they didn't check with VAR??

[@victormonongeli4313]

They was no penalty there

That was not a penalty he fell by himself and he was offside so CONGO won
