Description

New Zealand suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Colombia, despite proving competitive against the elite South American side. Missing key players, the All Whites conceded early to Colombia’s Gustavo Puerta. After resilient defending, they found a deserved equalizer late in the second half when Sarpreet Singh assisted substitute Ben Old. However, a defensive miscommunication moments later allowed Johan Carbonero to snatch the winning goal for Colombia. Though defeated, the All Whites leave the match with their credibility enhanced, having demonstrated they can compete at a high international level.
