Premiere with… a historic bang from the organizer New Zealand, they threw Norway on the canvas!

History was written at the premiere of the Women’s World Cup! One of the two host countries of the tournament, New Zealand danced the… haka over Norway, winning 1-0.

In fact, this is a historic achievement for the New Zealand women, since they prevailed for the first time in their history in the Women’s World Cup and managed to make a big “bang” with the… cross, throwing the Scandinavians, who were considered as favorites before the game started, to the canvas!

So, in the matches, the first part was quite balanced with New Zealand being extremely set on the field and looking for a way to surprise their opponent. Hegeberg’s impressive scissor to… good morning sent the crowd into a frenzy, but to no avail for Norway, with Monom wasting a good moment afterwards.

New Zealand after the first half hour stepped up and threatened, but lacked clarity in the final third of the pitch. The half ended without a score (0-0), but the match looked like a razor’s edge and finally the home team opened the scoring in the 48th minute with a close-range shot by Wilkison, raising the field to its feet!

The follow-up saw Norway pressing and looking for the goal, but whatever good moments they had they wasted and couldn’t convert them into the equalizer. With New Zealand having a chance to seal victory in the 90th minute, however, Percival saw the penalty kick hit the crossbar. Her team almost paid for it, but Hegeberg missed from a vantage point in stoppage time, with 1-0 remaining until the end of the game and the whole stadium celebrating this great achievement!
