History for coochiee

We could start with a stronger team at Eden Park - Reid, Tuiloma & Stamenic all to start?

And sounds like Socceroos could be weaker/looking to experiment. AWs can definitely win the return game.

Arnold, who enjoyed former mentor Guus Hiddink's cameo as assistant coach, made five changes to the side that started against Peru in their World Cup qualifier.

But there were no major experiments, with the many fresh faces included in the 31-strong squad lining the bench with a rematch on Sunday in Auckland their target.

Empoli talent Liberato Cacace proved a menace on the left edge for New Zealand without finding the net, while Newcastle United striker Chris Wood was physical up front in a friendly that had plenty of spark 100 years on from the teams' first meeting.

Arnold conceded after the match that his team lacked energy, but provided context around the difficulty of playing matches at home for players based elsewhere in the world and looked ahead to the rematch on Sunday.

"I thought we lost the physical battle — the New Zealanders were quite physical — but it's important to remember that the boys just arrived," he said.

"Milos Degenek arrived yesterday morning. Flights out of London were difficult, there were cancelled flights because of the Queen's funeral.

"But [Sunday] is for the kids. So what did I learn tonight? They're still working hard. There are some that need to get playing. I rewarded the ones for the campaign that we got through, but now it's about what's in front of us."
