Football Ferns fall to Japan in World Cup opener
A clinical 68th minute Aya Miyama freekick has denied the Football Ferns their first ever FIFA Women's World Cup point and given Japan a hard fought 2-1 win over New Zealand in Bochum Germany on Tuesday morning (NZT).
Level at halftime after Amber Hearn's 12th minute header cancelled out Yuki Nagasato's sixth minute opener, Japanese super sub Mana Iwabuchi won a free kick on the edge of the area, which Aya Miyama duly converted.
