The Philippine women’s football team continues to make history as the Filipinas advance to the quarterfinals behind Sarina Bolden and Sara Eggesvik
MANILA, Philippines – There’s still no stopping the history-making Philippine women’s football team.
The last Philippine team that reached the quarterfinals of the Asian Games was the 1958 national men’s squad. Eggesvik then doubled her own goal tally, while lifting the Philippines to a 3-0 advantage, as she slotted in the ball past the goalkeeper after receiving an excellent through ball from Meryll Serrano.
Following Bolden’s well-taken penalty kick, the Filipinas had multiple chances to add more goals, but most of their shot attempts were off the mark as the Myo Mya Mya Nyein, Myanmar’s goalkeeper, remained unchallenged in open play.
