Geva Mentor and Eboni Usoro-Brown do such a good job in defence and the GK gets SO close to a tip on a pass to Ameliaranne Ekenasio.
She can't get there, though and the Silver Fern scores. England lose possession after the ball goes out of play.
Now Ekenasio's shoes has come off! This is not the time Ameliaranne!
