The Tiki Toa beat Argentina 6-4 in a friendly game held at a packed Tahua To’ata stadium
Time after time, The Tahiti National Team is shifting from a “surprise team” to a reality team. Amusing performances during the year, edging opponents such as Netherlands, Switerland or France, got further confirmed after a new beach soccer display last night against Argentina, with the Polynesian bagging a new win, 6-4.
After two terribly balanced first periods, with an stroke exchange that got Argentina ahead but got the Tiki Toa leading the way 3-2 at the second hooter, five hits in an amazing and dramatic last stage confirmed the win for the hosts over the CONMEBOL champions. The 3-0 run that got Tahiti 6-2 ahead was finally too much for the Albiceleste, who had got to the island just one day before.
