New Zealand and Switzerland are still waiting on a goal. So far, the Ferns have had the best look of the night, with Jacqui Hand hitting the woodwork — deeply unfortunate on that front, since she absolutely had Switzerland keeper Gaëlle Thalmann beaten.
Former Fern Anna Green is on TV here in New Zealand, and thinks the team isn’t managing enough runs in behind.
The pressure is only going to get much worse from here, since the scoreline at Eden Park means the Ferns have to pull off a victory to advance.
There’s history either way for them ahead: either advancing out of the group stage for the first time, or being the first host nation to fail to make the knockouts.
