Despite creating only a few scoring chances, New Zealand's defender Abby Erceg almost tied the score to 1-1 in the 62nd minute with a close-range tap, but the ball went high.
Substitute Zoe Thompson took use of an fatal error committed by Li Jie on 65 minutes to earn a solo run. But her tip-toe shot mysteriously went wide.
