Goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel catches the ball during the second half of the Philippines’ Group A match against Switzerland.DESPITE a 0-2 loss to Switzerland in their history-making first match in the Group A of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Dunedin last Friday, the Filipinas stayed upbeat and were looking forward to their virtually must-win match against host New Zealand on Tuesday in Wellington.
“We got an unfortunate PK but we learn from these mistakes and get ready to go for the next one,” added the SoCal Union FC mainstay of Ramona Bachmann’s completed penalty in the dying minutes of the first half following Jessika Cowart’s tackle of a Swiss player inside the box. Striker Katrina Guillou, whose potential ice-breaking marker early in the match was ruled offside, shared the same sentiments, saying: “It was a close call but we still have two group stahe games and hopefully we can pick it up from there.
While tipping his hat off to the La Nati for being the better team last Friday, Australian Alen Stajcic was also moving on, stressing that “the next game will be a different game.”
