Weren't far off a draw, so that is something. Ferns were down to 10 players when conceded late 2nd goal. Of more importance is the experience for likes of Clegg.
In Wilkinson’s absence, Milly Clegg and Grace Jale started up top together in the second match against Chile, as the Ferns swapped from a 4-3-3 formation to a 4-4-2. They were without senior defenders CJ Bott and Katie Bowen, who were released back to their clubs after match one.
NZ Football’s report suggested Clegg had the best chance of the first half, but failed to take it.
Yanara Aedo then put the hosts in front in the 56th minute before Betsy Hassett, playing her 150th match for the Ferns, equalised in the 81st – following up after her initial penalty attempt was saved.
Clegg set Rennie up for a potential winner, but she failed to take the chance and twisted her ankle in the process, leaving the Ferns with 10 players for the final minutes, with Karen Araya scoring the winner from distance four minutes into stoppage time.
The losses took the Ferns’ record this year to two wins, two draws and 10 defeats.
