AFC Women's Asian Cup Group B Preview: Australia vs Thailand, Philippines a Win Away from Quarters

News 18  

Alen Stajcic’s Philippines will clinch their place in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022 quarter-finals by defeating Indonesia in their final Group B clash at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune on Thursday. “Hopefully we can give the Philippines and all the players back home – young boys and young girls – some inspiration and hope that they can play at FIFA World Cups in the future.” Indonesia, playing in the tournament after a 33-year absence, were dealt a steep learning curve in their 18-0 defeat to Australia on Matchday One with Rudy Eka Priyambada’s side then suffering a 4-0 loss to Thailand. “So the experience of playing in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup is very important for them and I will give the chance for the other players to play against the Philippines.” AUSTRALIA vs THAILAND Australia’s place in the quarter-finals is secured, but head coach Tony Gustavsson warned against expecting a drop in their standards during Thursday’s final Group B clash against Thailand. “We suspect we won’t have that many chances against Australia, but we need to up the quality in the chances we might encounter against them.” Australia cruised to a 6-0 win the last time the two sides met, during Tokyo Olympics qualifying, but their most recent AFC Women’s Asian Cup meeting was far closer, with the Matildas advancing on penalties after a thrilling 2-2 semi-final draw in Amman in 2018.
