The All Whites have advanced to the Kirin Cup final in Japan after beating Panama in a penalty shootout in Yokohama.<\/p>\n
New Zealand were first on the scorecard when Marko Stameni\u0107 found the back of the net after 13 minutes.<\/p>\n
They looked set to head to the break with a 1-0 lead when Giovany Herbert scored an equaliser for Panama just on halftime.<\/p>\n
The second half saw a host of personnel changes and neither team really found their rhythm. In the end it came down to which team could score off the spot.<\/p>\n
Tyler Bindon, Marko Stameni\u0107, Moses Dyer, Lachlan Bayliss and Michael Boxall all held their nerve to secure victory for New Zealand.<\/p>\n
The team will now head to the final at Tokyo National Stadium on Monday 5 October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The All Whites have advanced to the Kirin Cup final in Japan after beating Panama in a penalty…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":912062,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-912061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=912061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912061\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/912062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=912061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=912061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=912061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
