Dugdale Slams His Goal Keeper
21/06/2001 11:38 AM
All Whites coach Ken Dugdale has slammed goal keeper Jason Batty following last night's 2-nil World Cup qualifying loss to Australia in Wellington.
Batty made a shocking blunder when he tried to clear from a back-pass, sending the ball straight to goal scorer Brett Emerton who headed the ball into an empty net for a second goal.
Dugdale says the crucial error has made it extremely hard for his side in the return match in Sydney on Sunday.
He says the whole team looked a bit shell shocked at the start of the match.
New Zealand face the unprecedented task of having to beat Australia by three goals in the return match.
