Behind team captain Tahnai Annis’ 19th minute winner, the Philippine women’s football team secures a top 2 spot in Group A with two wins and one loss
This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.
Filipinas team captain Tahnai Annis broke the deadlock at the 19th minute after she reacted the fastest to pounce on the rebound off a saved Sofia Harrison right-footed shot. After playing three matches in the second round of the Asian qualifiers, the Filipinas will most likely end up as Group A runners-up with 6 points and a -4 goal difference.
Australia currently leads Group A after accumulating 6 points and a +10 goal difference in two matches, while Chinese Taipei collected a point and a -3 goal difference. Unlike in the first half of the Australia match, the Filipinas dominated the possession against Iran at 62%, but they weren’t able to score multiple goals in the first 45 minutes as the Iranians stood tall.
