The coordination between the players was nothing short of poetry in motion, with Nweke sinking goal after goal, causing the Diamonds to scramble and rethink their strategies. Australia tried to mount a comeback, but New Zealand's defense, led by their own star players, was impenetrable, effectively sealing the game early on.
