JUNIOR ALL WHITES NARROWLY DEFEATED BY AFRICAN CHAMPIONS

Final warm-up game for FIFA U-20 World Cup ends with narrow loss to EgyptJune 18, 2013

AUCKLAND – The Junior All Whites completed their final warm-up game for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey overnight with a close 2-1 defeat to Egypt in Antalya, Turkey.

Chris Milicich’s Junior All Whites lined up strongly against African Champions Egypt – themselves in the final stages of preparation for the tournament – and will be pleased with the increased performance level from the team with under a week to go before their first FIFA U-20 World Cup game against Uzbekistan on June 23.

Egypt opened the scoring on 15 minutes through midfielder Refeat Ahmed despite New Zealand dominating play. The Junior All Whites had to wait until just after the break to restore parity with Cameron Howieson equalising, before a goal 12 minutes from time from star midfielder Mahmoud Kahraba gave Egypt victory.

The Junior All Whites will now move to their base in Bursa for the FIFA U-20 World Cup where they will play their first game against Uzbekistan on June 23, before facing Uruguay on June 26 and completing the group stage against Croatia on June 29.
