On this day in 2019, New Zealand played Uruguay in Łódź in the final group match of the U20 World Cup. Having already qualified for the round of 16, the lineup was fully rotated, with only Stanger and Pijnaker keeping their starting spots, although Joe Bell was subbed on inside 10 minutes. Uruguay won 2-0, with the second coming at 90+5, with a very strong side, featuring current Benfica star Darwin Nuñez (34 goals this season), and Barcelona star Ronald Araújo.
The lineup that day was (and where they now):
12. Cam Brown (Auckland City)
2. George Stanger (Dumbarton)
3. Dalton Wilkins (Kolding)
5. Nando Pijnaker (Sligo Rovers)
6. Dane Schnell (Western Springs)
9. Max Mata (c) (Sligo Rovers)
11. Matt Conroy (Auckland United)
14. Leon van den Hoven (Bay Olympic)
15. Trevor Zwetsloot (NE Revolution II)
16. Dominic Wooldridge (Torslanda)
20. Willem Ebbinge (Harvard)
Substitutes:
