UNITED STATES vs. NEW ZEALAND – SHOT PLOTS


Fig. 1:
New Zealand Shots Allowed by the USA

The “shot” from just off the right touchline was a cross that ended up being saved just off the goal-line by Solo.

London2012.com’s stats list 22 shots, but FIFA.com and U.S. Soccer lists 16 shots. My count was 17.
