With this resounding victory, Canada established a new record, surpassing the Black Ferns by 15 points, who suffered their most lopsided defeat in the history of the tournament. Furthermore, this was New Zealand&#8217;s first defeat in the World Cup after 18 matches.\n\nCanada demonstrated its superiority from the start, setting the pace of the game. At seven minutes, a high pass surprised the New Zealand defense, allowing Justine Pelletier to score the first try. Three minutes later, Asia Hogan-Rochester extended the lead, leaving the world champions in a complicated situation.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0919%2Fr1548109_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Jugadoras de Canad\u00e1 celebrando\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\nIn their third try, Canada built solid plays, culminating in Florence Symonds&#8217; score. New Zealand reacted, with Tanya Kalounivale scoring her first try. However, Canada continued to dominate, and Sophie de Goede, after a spectacular assist from Pelletier, scored under the posts, bringing the score to 24-7 at halftime.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0919%2Fr1548076_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Jugadoras de Canad\u00e1 celebrando\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\nIn the second half, Canada maintained its momentum, with captain Alex Tessier scoring another try. Liana Mikaele-Tu&#8217;u scored for New Zealand, but it wasn&#8217;t enough to counter the Canadian play. Despite a comeback attempt by New Zealand, with a try by Braxton Sorensen-McGee, Canada held firm. A penalty by De Goede sealed the victory, setting a new record for points conceded by New Zealand in a World Cup match.\n\nCanada will face the winner of the match between England and France in the final to be played at Allianz Stadium Twickenham.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada Crushes New Zealand and Advances to the Women&#8217;s Rugby World Cup Final In a historic match, Canada defeated New Zealand with a score of 34-19, securing their place in the Women&#8217;s Rugby World Cup final.
