Tanzania produced a dominant display to defeat Macau 6-0 on Sunday, securing third place in Group B of the FIFA Series with an emphatic victory in Kigali.

Match highlights from Kigali

The Taifa Stars delivered a commanding performance at the Pele Stadium, responding strongly after their earlier defeat to Liechtenstein.

With third place at stake, Tanzania approached the match with urgency and quickly asserted control over proceedings.

It took just fifteen minutes for the breakthrough to arrive.

Charles opened the scoring, setting the tone for what would become a one-sided contest.

His goal marked the beginning of sustained pressure from Tanzania, who dominated possession and repeatedly tested the Macau defence.

Macau struggled to cope with the intensity of their opponents but managed brief moments of resistance.

Their goalkeeper produced a key save to deny Tanzania an immediate second goal, offering a temporary reprieve.

However, the pressure continued to build as Tanzania maintained a high tempo and exploited gaps in the defensive line.

Before the interval, the Taifa Stars extended their advantage with two additional goals, ensuring a comfortable lead at halftime.

Macau, unable to establish any rhythm or mount meaningful attacks, found themselves overwhelmed by Tanzania’s organisation and attacking intent.

With a three-goal cushion, Tanzania returned for the second half with renewed energy and focus.

Their approach remained aggressive, as they pressed high up the pitch and limited Macau’s ability to progress the ball.

The defensive discipline shown by Tanzania ensured that their opponents had little opportunity to threaten, while their attacking play continued to create chances.

The fourth goal arrived ten minutes after the restart, when Paul found the net in the 56th minute.

The strike further underlined Tanzania’s dominance and effectively ended any hopes of a comeback.

As the match progressed, Tanzania showed no signs of easing off.

Their control of the game remained complete, with Macau unable to regain composure or disrupt the flow of play.

The fifth goal came in the 74th minute through Miroshi, adding to the growing margin and reflecting the sustained pressure applied throughout the match.

By this stage, the outcome was beyond doubt, with Tanzania firmly in command.

Late in the game, Allarakhia completed the scoring in the 87th minute, sealing a comprehensive 6-0 victory.

The final whistle confirmed a result that accurately reflected the balance of play, with Tanzania superior in all areas.

The win ensured that the Taifa Stars finished third in Group B of the FIFA Series, achieving their objective after the earlier setback against Liechtenstein.

While Tanzania celebrated a convincing performance, attention in the group now turns to the contest for top spot.

Liechtenstein and Aruba are set to compete for first place, also in Kigali.

For Tanzania, the result represents a strong response and a demonstration of their attacking capabilities, as they concluded their campaign in the FIFA Series on a positive note.
