The Oly Whites have started their Olympic campaign with a strong victory, winning their opening match against Guinea 2-1. Matt Garbett and Ben Waine scored the goals for New Zealand. Garbett put New Zealand ahead with a goal in the 25th minute of the first half, despite having missed a penalty just two minutes earlier.
Guinea equalized in the 73rd minute with a goal from Amadou Diawara, who drilled the ball into the bottom corner from the edge of the box. However, New Zealand quickly regained the lead four minutes later, when Ben Waine scored a brilliant goal with assists from Riley Bidois and Lachlan Bayliss.
Despite the 30°C heat and an additional 11 minutes of extra time, the Oly Whites maintained their lead. This victory against the 74th-ranked Guinea side keeps their playoff hopes alive in a tough group that also includes hosts France and the USA. France and the USA are strong competitors, but New Zealand’s performance in this match shows their potential to advance in the tournament.
Goals:
New Zealand: Matt Garbett, Ben Waine

very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
