NEW ZEALAND WOMEN TOPPLE ARGENTINA

Tuesday, 17 June 08, 09:19 AM

AUCKLAND – The New Zealand Football Ferns gave their Olympic preparation a timely boost, and kept their hopes of making the Peace Queen Cup final alive with an historic 1-0 win over South American champions Argentina in Suwon, Korea on Monday night.

Former Arsenal striker Amber Hearn got the only goal of the game – her first at international level – in the seventh minute, heading home from six yards after the Argentinean goalkeeper could only tip Rebecca Smith’s 35 yard free kick on to the cross bar.

New Zealand dominated the first half and could have led by more at the break but had to withstand a second half fight-back from the South Americans to record the first win for any New Zealand football side over Argentina.

    The ferns are dancing to the winds of change. Good on you NZ. Make Oceania an active confederation and be considered that way in the FIFA Congress rooms.
