Wellington, New Zealand, 25 July 2023: The Philippines team celebrates their victorious performance against New Zealand in the FIFA Women’s World Cup with a series of post-match photos. The match took place in Wellington, New Zealand and was a part of Group A.
Sarina Bolden and the Philippines team have gained a newfound belief in their abilities after their impressive win. Despite needing another outstanding victory in their next match to secure a spot in the knockout stages, they remain optimistic about their chances. The Filipinas will face former champion Norway, who are considered favorites to top Group A but are struggling to find their form and face the risk of an early exit.
Bolden expressed her confidence in the team’s potential, stating that anything is possible. Her first-half goal in the match against New Zealand propelled the Filipinas to a historic 1-0 victory. However, the road ahead is not easy, as the Filipinas have few options to qualify for the Last 16 without complications. Currently, Switzerland leads the group with four points, followed by New Zealand and the Philippines with three points each. Norway has just one point.
The Filipinas have returned to Auckland to begin their preparations for the crucial match against Norway at the Eden Park stadium. The outcome of this game will determine their fate in the tournament. Bolden emphasized the importance of sticking to their plan, working hard, and staying focused on their goal of improving and achieving success.
Despite starting the World Cup with a defeat against Switzerland, the Filipinas have impressed the global football scene with their competitive spirit. The team remains motivated, knowing that they can score goals, earn points, and compete at this level. Their midfielder, Sara Eggesvik, highlighted the team’s determination to go even further in the tournament.
A win over Norway would not only be a massive upset but would also secure the Philippines’ qualification for the next round. A draw would complicate matters and depend on the outcome of the match between New Zealand and Switzerland. The top two teams in Group A will face off against the survivors from Group C, which includes Spain, Japan, Costa Rica, and Zambia.
The Filipinas’ head coach, Stajcic, reminded the team that their job is not done yet, despite the high of their victory over New Zealand. They need to switch back to competition mode and focus on their last game to have a chance of advancing from the group stage.
In conclusion, the Philippines team’s journey in the FIFA Women’s World Cup has been remarkable so far, but they still have a long way to go. They remain determined and will give their all in their upcoming match against Norway, with hopes of continuing their fairy-tale run in the tournament.
