Jitka Klimkova, Head Coach of New Zealand, gives an interview after the team's 1-0 victory between New Zealand and Norway at Eden Park on July 20, in Auckland, New Zealand.

Following New Zealand's historic win over Norway in the opening match of the 2023 World Cup, Ferns coach Jitka Klimkova told reporters she believes the halftime chat helped the squad secure the win.

Early in the second half, Hannah Wilkinson scored the decisive goal which clinched New Zealand's first ever World Cup win, men's or women's.

Going into the break, Klimkova said: "We knew that our performance is very good. We wanted to stay consistent. Consistency of keeping the ball, getting to the final third, being very organized in defense.

"Those messages stayed the same, but we added few priorities: how we can use our spaces a little bit more wisely and more efficiently," she added.

"We could see it in the second half and I believe that helped us to get the goal in," Klimkova said
