Mexico, New Zealand bow out

07 Jul, 2011

New Zealand earned a dramatic 2-2 draw with Mexico after the equaliser came with the last kick of the Group B game as both teams took their bow at the women's World Cup. Mexico led 2-0 after 30 minutes thanks to Stephany Mayor and Maribel Dominguez, but the Kiwis hit back as captain Rebecca Smith scored with time almost up before teenager Hannah Wilkinson levelled in the 94th minute.
