It took Australia thirty minutes to score their the opening goal, but led 2-0 at half time after taking twelve shots toone by New Zealand.
Although New Zealand played hard they no longer can match the experience and depth of the Australian players. The last few years have demonstrated the wisdom of their national traning program, and their rise towards the top level teams in the world has left countries like New Zealand way behind in women's international soccer arena.
