Bill Tuiloma headed in from a corner, before two cool Wood finishes extended his national scoring record to 32. Greive showed his current confidence with a clever Hernan Crespo style flick, after the driven cross from Joey Champness was slightly behind him. Callum McCowatt and Tim Payne were the others introduced. Four players were brought in for the first time in this tournament, with Swansea City goalkeeper Jamie Searle making his debut and Greive getting his first start. The All Whites made a bright start – in complete control – and opened the scoring in the eighth minute.
