New Zealand women's football team do the 'haka'

New Zealand's women's Olympic football team did the famous 'Haka' dance following their 3-1 win over Cameroon on Tuesday.

The 'Haka', a traditional war dance, orginated from the Maori people of New Zealand and was made famous by the country's All Blacks rugby union team.

Goals from Rebecca Smith, an own goal and Sarah Gregorius booked their spot in the latter stages as one of the best third-placed teams.

The quarter-finals of the women's competition will take place on Friday.
