Germany subjected Fiji to an 8-1 thrashing to spoil the tiny
Pacific nation's under-20 World Cup debut on Monday as Honduras
prevailed in a seven-goal thriller over Uzbekistan.
A
record 28 goals - 12 more than the opening two days of the tournament
combined - flowed from the four matches in New Zealand, which also saw
Brazil and Hungary emerge easy winners in two Group E scoring sprees.
"This game, that goal, meant so much for the country," Fiji coach Frank Farina, a former Australia boss, remarked.
Honduras
also rejoiced madly in the late contest at the same venue after edging
Uzbekistan 4-3 in a pulsating match featuring two goals in second half
injury-time.
Brazil were 4-2 winners over Nigeria in New Plymouth, while Hungary belted North Korea 5-1 in a late game at the same venue.
