Wow, NZ Football are really onto it!  Congratulations to the PR dept.  (ie don't go there for any news...)

I see a back three is being played:  Pijnaker, Reid and Stensness.
Defence obviously held tight, though the South Koreans will be a different ball game.

Stensness was playing as a CB in that first game? Where did you see that?
Sofascore show a 4-3-3, though they could easily be wrong.

And yeah NZ Football's website is pretty much useless for any content. Their Facebook page is better though, on a low bar scale.

If I was Hay, I'd be inclined to go with the same starting 11 (with maybe Stamenic replacing Stensness), first half as they just need time together. Then at HT make sweeping changes to give the bench players some game time. Half a match should be enough for Reid and Wood especially, leading into Sth Korea next Thursday.
