A late goal has sunk the All Whites one-nil in their opening Ashes match with Australia in Canberra.  

Midfielder Max Balard found the back of the net in the 87th minute to snatch victory for the hosts. 

New Zealand failed to take advantage of a dominant first half, led by their captain Chris Wood. Piney caught up with Wood as the team heads back to New Zealand for the second leg of the Soccer Ashes.
