A goal by Sarina Bolden softened the blow for the Filipinas as they kissed goodbye their medal hopes in the 19th Asian Games after a humbling 1-8 loss to Japan in the quarterfinals.
MANILA, Philippines — A goal by Sarina Bolden softened the blow for the Filipinas as they kissed goodbye their medal hopes in the 19th Asian Games after a humbling 1-8 loss to Japan in the quarterfinals of the women’s football tournament in China on Saturday.
Despite the lopsided scoreline, the Filipinas were able to hold their ground — particularly in a rainy first half — where they held Nadeshiko scoreless until the 39th minute, even as skipper Hali Long was sent off with a record card near the half-hour mark. Still, the reigning AFF Women’s Champions continued to push, which was rewarded with a Bolden header at the 68th minute off of a corner kick to pump life into their semis hopes, 1-3.
She then continued the onslaught, scoring two more goals in quick succession to bury the Filipinas. She added the icing on the cake with a goal in added time.
