The team of South Africa has opened an account at this game and throughout the first half of the meeting provided stubborn resistance to a superior in the class rival. An excellent acting in those moments showed their goalkeeper Rebecca Thomas. However, omitting in the third period a few balls in succession, the South African players have actually thrown the white flag and stop the resistance.

     Bickley Frazer, head coach of New Zealand: - Not all our plans for this game come true. There were mistakes due to accumulated fatigue by the third day of the game. We’ll try to get a good sleep tonight to be ready to play-off matches.

     Ryan Weiderman, head coach of South Africa: - Today's game has not been very successful. Our girls are a little bit tired after a few games with the strong opponents, and today’s game has passed at a fast pace. But with every match we increase our experience and confidence. Tomorrow we will have a hard game, so we’ll try to do everything possible to look decent.
