New Zealand defender Meikayla Moore scored three own goals and was substituted before half-time in a heavy 0-5 defeat by the United States at the SheBelieves Cup. The USA women had 19 shots at the Kiwi's goal but only 4 were on target. Meikayla almost matched the oppostion's "shot" statistics.
Moore, who plays for Championship leaders, Liverpool, scored twice at the wrong end in the first six minutes. Things got worse for Moore when she poked another one past goalkeeper Erin Nayler before half-time. Ashley Hatch and Mallory Pugh also scored for the US in the second half.
Moore's perfect hat-trick of own goals - scored with her left foot, right foot and a header - came before she was substituted in the 40th minute and it contributed to New Zealand's second defeat at the SheBelieves Cup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TC94i9jc6g They lost 1-0 to Iceland on Friday, while the US drew with the Czech Republic.
"Each player who has played, and it doesn't matter what level, has great games and tough games, and 'Mouse' (Moore) had a tough day at the office," said New Zealand coach Jitka Klimkova. "Obviously, she's sad and disappointed, but she's an unbelievable person and player who belongs on this team. We are all behind her in this tough moment for her."
Both teams play their remaining fixture on Wednesday with New Zealand taking on the Czech Republic and the US facing Iceland.
