Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Eden Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' The travelling Norway supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Norway started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' New Zealand looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Hannah Wilkinson scoring 1 goals.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Thea Bjelde, as he is very good at scoring at Eden Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering New Zealand that had 3 games and scored 1 goals.
  • 45' It looks surprising Norway does not make any changes. Jacqui Hand has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 48' Hannah Wilkinson puts New Zealand on the lead.
  • 53' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 61' Norway is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 66' Ada Hegerberg has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 70' It is a substitution in New Zealand team. Rebekah Ashley Stott is replaced by Claudia Bunge on 70 minute.
  • 74' Norway manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Vilde Boe Risa is hanging Frida Maanum on the field on 74 minute.
  • 79' New Zealand seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 84' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 85' Emilie Haavi was booked on 85.
  • 86' Another change for New Zealand made on 86 minute. Hannah Wilkinson leaves to be changed by Paige Satchell.
