Micronesia thrashed again 46-0 by Vanuatu
Updated | By Nondumiso Zakwe
The latest drubbing follows a 38-0 loss to Fiji and 30-0 scoreline against Tahiti, meaning the Federated States of Micronesia conceded 114 goals in their three group games without reply.
The half-time score was 24-0 and Vanuatu, ranked 200 in the world, did not let up after the break in humid conditions in Papua New Guinea, which is hosting the multi-sport Pacific Games.
Vanuatu striker Jean Kaltack helped himself to 16 goals, rocketing to top spot on the tournament scoring ladder.
Organisers labelled it the biggest win in international football history, although it is unlikely to go in the record books as Micronesia are not FIFA members and it is an under-23 tournament.

The record scoreline in a senior international was American Samoa's 31-0 loss to Australia in 2001.
However, in a lesson for the young Micronesians, the Samoans ignored jibes about being the worst team in history and eventually recorded their first ever win against Tonga in 2011.
