Switzerland Progress After New Zealand Stalemate
Switzerland ensured their progression to the second round of the Women's World Cup after drawing 0-0 with co-hosts New Zealand, thus eliminating them from the tournament.
Despite the crowd against them, it was Switzerland who started the better through Ramona Bachmann who had a great long range shot blocked in what was an early sign of pressure from the Barcelona striker.
From here however, New Zealand took control of the half, playing some inspired football in front of a raucous home crowd. On twenty minutes, Heather Bowen managed to put Rebekah Scott who despite causing consternation for the Swiss defence, was unable to capitalise on the chance.
The Ferns got even closer four minutes later when a great run from Jaqui Hand ended in her half volley hitting the post with the hosts looking dangerous everytime they entered the Swiss half.
Despite being second best for much of the half, Switzerland did look dangerous through the ever present Eseosa Aigbogun in attack while Seraina Piubel put in a committed performance in midfield.
And whatever about their first half performance, Inka Grings's side were a different side in the second half. Algobogun had a great chance minutes after the interval but took too much out of the ball before getting a shot away.
There was also a couple of nervous moments on the hour mark for Kiwi goalkeeper Victoria Esson who was lucky not to have Pieubel score after a botched punch.
At the other end Hannah Wilkinson was unlucky not to make the breakthrough and was only denied by a great tackle from Nadine Reisen.
With New Zealand needing a goal to go through as a result of Norway winning, that left the Ferns open at the back and were lucky not to concede when Bachmann found herself in acres of space but the so desperate defending prevented the chance.
New Zealand to their credit, battled to the end in their desperate search for the crucial goal which would see them through. None was forthcoming however as Switzerland progress along with Norway out of Group A.
