NEW ZEALAND BOOK FINALS BERTH

New Zealand sealed their place at next summer's World Cup Finals by virtue of a 1-0 win after Bahrain in the second leg of their play-off in Wellington.

Rory Fallon scored the all-important goal in the 44th minute, but Bahrain, seeking to reach the World Cup for the first time, missed a glorious chance to equalize when Sayed Adnan's poor penalty was saved five minutes into the second half.

New Zealand qualify for the Finals for the first time since 1982.
