Football Ferns outclassed by USA in front of record crowd (New Zealand Herald)

A severely understrength Ferns team were on a hiding to nothing against the world champs.

The Americans took time to get going, though the class of midfielders Lavelle and Lindsey Horan was apparent. That settled the Americans, who went up a gear, with Lavelle and Horan having further chances, before Morgan doubled their advantage. Midge Purse then hit the post with a swinging effort that deceived Nayler, though it may have been a cross. And the Ferns, buoyed by vocal support, were up for it, showing an intensity and energy that hasn’t always been apparent in Klimkova’s reign. It was key for the Ferns to avoid an early concession. Grace Jale, Hassett, Daisy Cleverley and Olivia Chance were the midfield quartet, with Ava Collins and Gabi Rennie leading the line.
