Sporting Kansas City midfielder James Musa and the New Zealand Men's National Team are sitting pretty heading into tonight's decisive second leg of the OC Final Playoff against Solomon Islands.

The All Whites cruised to a 6-1 first-leg home victory on Friday in Auckland, with Musa playing 26 minutes as a second-half substitute in his first international appearance since May 2014.
