First World Cup victory for the Philippines who surprise New Zealand
The Phillipines obtained their first success in the World Cup by beating, on Tuesday July 25, New Zealand (1-0), surprise at home in Wellington in the second meeting of the two nations in Group A of the Women’s World Cup.
In the 24th minute, Sarina Bolden headed in the middle of three opponents the first goal in the history of her country in the history of the World Cup, the Phillipines making their debut in the competition at this 2023 edition co-hosted in Australia and New Zealand.
The New Zealanders dominated the proceedings but Jacqui Hand saw her shot hit the post in the 64th minute and her header canceled four minutes later for a very limited offside by Hannah Wilkinson.
Filipino goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel saved hers in stoppage time on a point-blank shot from Grace Jale. After their victory over Norway (1-0), New Zealand was therefore unable to confirm once morest the team presumed to be the weakest in the pool.
The Football Ferns have so far been eliminated from the group stage in all five of their World Cup appearances. Beaten by Switzerland (2-0), the Philippines are reviving before facing Norway on Sunday.
Colombia triumph over South Korea
Colombia easily won the world once morest South Korea (2-0), thanks in particular to the nugget Linda Caicedo, a victory which puts it at the height of Germany at the head of group H.
In a superb atmosphere at the Sydney Football Stadium thanks to the noisy Colombian supporters, they opened the scoring from the penalty spot, converted by midfielder Catalina Usme (30th), who had scored in April once morest France in a friendly.
Real Madrid nugget Linda Caicedo, 18, who is playing her third world this season (World U20 and U17) in addition to the Copa America, doubled the bet with a strike from the left side, helped by a handball from the South Korean goalkeeper (39th). The Colombians will meet the Germans, big favorites, on Sunday during the second day of Group H.
