Fiji makes history with a thumping of FSM 30 - 0 in Pacific Games

Fiji broke the record for the biggest win in international football history with a 38-0 victory over Federated States of Micronesia at the Bisini Ground  in Port Moresby today.

The Fijians clearly had the world record in their sights from kickoff, motivated by Micronesia's 30-0 defeat to Tahiti in their previous match in Pool A of the Pacific Games soccer competition.

Fiji took a 21-0 lead into halftime, prompting Micronesia to replace the goalkeeper Walter Pengelbew with outfield player Dominic Gadad in an attempt to stem the tide.

Though Gadad fared slightly better he still conceded another 17 goals after the break.

Fiji now breaks the record set in 2001 when Australia beat American Samoa 31-0.
