Philippines wins first-ever FIFA World Cup match after beating co-host New Zealand

The Hindu  

Forward Sarina Bolden headed the winner as the Philippines spoiled co-host New Zealand’s party with a stunning 1-0 victory in their Women’s World Cup Group A clash on Tuesday. The Philippines lost 2-0 to Switzerland in its opening match and looked to be an easy mark for the Football Ferns, who were coming off their first-ever World Cup win over former champion Norway and looking to book a spot in the last 16. Striker Bolden made New Zealand pay for its profligacy in the 24th minute when she got up well to fire a header directly at New Zealand keeper Victoria Esson, who fumbled it into the net to give the Philippines their first-ever World Cup goal. In a frenetic finish, Philippines striker Carleigh Frilles also got the ball into the net from an offside position and New Zealand’s Grace Jale was foiled from close range by a fine McDaniel save.
