Felt like a match without a huge amount of quality shown from either team.
We gave Ghana too much time in and near the box and we were lucky they mostlyddidn't make the most of the gifted chances.
Would've liked to have seen a more changed starting line-up being that there was nothing on the line and it would be good to give as many players the experience of playing at a World Cup for their development.
Edit: Just to add something positive to my seemingly bleak comment - I'm happy for Manaia Elliott captaining this tournament, playing all 3 matches and getting her goal today.
She has looked really impressive in the few Kate Sheppard Cup Nix Reserve games I've seen this year as well as a few of her performances early last season in the ALW, so anything that aids her development and makes her more ALW ready is a win in my books
