well, at least the field players didn't take more goals than each of the actual Goalkeepers. (Although I'll admit I have no idea of how many minutes it took to each to take 3 goals) So New Zealand has won the tournament? Surprising.
First goalkeeper got injured after 25 minutes (was replaced after 30 minutes) and second goalkeeper got injured after 60 minutes (was replaced after 66 minutes).
