New Zealand picked up an unwanted record by becoming the first host nation to be knocked out of the Women’s World Cup group stages.
With Norway thrashing the Philippines 6-0 in the other Group A game, the Football Ferns needed to beat its Swiss opponents to secure a place in the last 16 but was unable to find a breakthrough. In front of an excited crowd at the Dunedin Stadium, New Zealand struggled to get to grips with a cagey match and failed to create many chances on goal.
New Zealand only managed two shots of target during Sunday’s match despite throwing everything at its opponents in the closing stages. In search of the winner, New Zealand goalkeeper Victoria Esson joined the attack whenever her team had a corner or freekick in the final minutes – she even managed to get her head to a cross but couldn’t direct it towards goal. After the defeat, New Zealand’s players huddled on the pitch and captain Ali Riley gave a speech to her tearful teammates.
