- New Zealand had no reward for a dogged defensive display against the Netherlands on Tuesday when a stoppage-time goal denied them a point in their women’s World Cup opener but coach Tom Sermanni says their campaign is far from over.
The Dutch posed the Kiwi defense no end of problems in Le Havre but had nothing to show for their dominance until Jill Roord headed in at the back post in the 92nd minute. “We had a game plan and the players adhered to that magnificently. Their effort, courage and discipline was first class,” he told reporters.
“Before the tournament started we said it was a three-game tournament. We’re only a third of the way through.”
