The Philippines team came to the 2023 Women's World Cup as the weakest team in Group A. However, after losing to Switzerland in the opening match, coach Stajcic and his team caused a big shock with a 1-0 victory over host New Zealand. This victory helped the Philippines team make history by becoming the first Southeast Asian team to win the Women's World Cup finals.
History awaits the Philippines team
In theory, all 4 teams in Group A still have a chance to advance to the knockout round and the scenario will be very unpredictable. However, the Swiss team with the biggest advantage is still the Swiss team with 4 points and only needs a draw against the New Zealand team to get a ticket to the next round. The host country New Zealand also needs to get a point against the group leader and wait for the results of the remaining matches to determine the second place ticket in Group A.
The Norwegian team (in white) played disappointingly.
Meanwhile, the Philippines team also needs to win against Norway to hope to create more history for Southeast Asian football. If both matches of Group A taking place at 2 p.m. end in a draw, the two tickets to the next round will belong to Switzerland and the host team New Zealand. Even the bottom team Norway can still go through if they beat the Philippines by 2 goals or more and the remaining match ends in a draw. These will certainly be the two most watched matches of the match day on July 30.
Home team New Zealand need to get a point in the final match of Group A
At 11:30 a.m., the second match of Group H will be between the Korean team and the Moroccan team. The Korean girls need to win to rekindle their hopes of advancing after losing to the Colombian team in their opening match. The German team also has the second match of Group H against the Colombian team at 4:30 p.m., and the winner will have one foot in the knockout round.
South Korea lost to Colombia in the opening match.
