FIFA Women's World Cup

More competitive opening 20 than I was expecting. Good stuff.

[sparky]

Great start so far by NZ.

[Donsteppa]

Lots of good positions and half chances. Still 0-0.

[Mattasaurus]

Looks like we have the Norwegians rattled a bit

[Bovidae]

Wilkinson's heavy touch has let her down a couple of times. NZ aren't out of the game.

[No Quarter]

Fantastic first half, we finished stronger!

[sparky]

A great first half by the Football Ferns. Really frustrating Norway and getting big support from the crowd.

Norway defence looks slow. Could be a chance if NZ can get a fast runner on the end of a straight, long ball.

[Chris B.]

That's very good from the Ferns - I was mainly hoping we wouldn't concede in the first five minutes, but we've dominated that half.

Need one or two more who are willing to pull the trigger and shoot - we seem to be looking for a few extra touches.

Good start to the tournament

A home win would be massive

Norway are a good side and move the ball well. It would be a massive win.

Norways last few results:
3-3 draw with Sweden. Sweden ranked #3
4-2 loss to Spain. Spain ranked #6
0-0 draw with France. France ranked #5

[sparky]

Brilliant opening goal!

[sparky]

Nearly a second. Norway being run ragged at the moment.

VAR looking at a penalty.

[sparky]

Not given.

Norway lucky it’s only 1 at the minute.
