Outstanding performance
New Zealand•DefenderNew Zealand made their intent clear inside four minutes when Tyler Bindon converted from a corner, and they doubled the lead through Ben Waine after a frantic spell of chances involving Logan Rogerson, Wei Shihao's saved effort, and Elijah Henry's crashing shot off the post. China PR never found a foothold, managing just two shots on target all game against New Zealand's six, and their 43% possession count meant little without penetration in the final third. A heavy round of substitutions from both sides shaped a quieter second half until substitute Owen Parker-Price arrived in style, scoring just three minutes after being introduced to complete a 3-0 rout that reflected New Zealand's control throughout - six big chances created to China's none tells the story of the gulf in quality on the night.
