The All Whites have been beaten 2-nil by the United Arab Emirates in the final of the 4-nation tournament in Riyadh.
Two defensive lapses resulted in goals for the UAE in each half.
The All Whites lacked direction, regularly lost possession in the midfield, while defensively they looked lost at times.
The New Zealanders performance probably hasn't helped coach Ricky Herbert at all as he prepares his side for the World Cup qualifying matches in November.
Defender Ben Sigmund was sent off late in the game from stomping on an opponent.
The UAE are ranked 84th in the world.... 27 places lower than New Zealand.
