The Philippine women’s football team swept its assignments in the first round of the 2024 AFC Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament and booked a spot in the next phase after it blew away Hong Kong, 4-0!
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine women’s football team swept its assignments in the first round of the 2024 AFC Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament and booked a spot in the next phase after it blew away Hong Kong, 4-0, on Tuesday, April 11, at the Hisor Central Stadium in Tajikistan.
The 26-year-old forward outpaced Hong Kong defender Sin Chung See on the way to the goal and perfectly slotted the ball past Ng Cheuk Wai, the opposing goalie. In the 53rd minute, Quinley Quezada went on a graceful solo run towards the goal and rifled in a powerful left-footed shot just outside the box to put the Philippines 4-0 up over Hong Kong.
Just like in the first two games of the qualifiers, Philippines head coach Alen Stajcic shuffled his starting lineup once more, but this time, he inserted McDaniel for her first appearance in the qualifiers for Kiara Fontanilla, who kept back-to-back clean sheets against Pakistan and Tajikistan. The tinkering of Stajcic worked yet again as the Filipinas took an early lead and kept Hong Kong scoreless for the first 45 minutes of the match.
A minute after Frilles was substituted in by Stajcic, Bolden tried to bag a hat-trick in the final match day of the first round, but her effort was saved and resulted in a corner kick at the 72nd minute.
