New Zealand’s All Whites delivered a landmark 4–1 victory over a 10-man Chile at Eden Park, marking their first-ever win against South American opposition in 20 attempts ahead of the Football World Cup.
After an early disallowed goal, Chile were reduced to 10 players when Dario Osorio was sent off, allowing the hosts to seize control through Kosta Barbarouses, Eli Just, Jesse Randall and Ben Waine, who all found the net across a dominant performance.
Despite a late consolation from Gonzalo Tapia, the result stands as a major confidence boost for the All Whites heading into the global tournament.
