Philippines Stun New Zealand For Historic First FIFA Women's World Cup Win
The Philippines claimed a historic first World Cup win on Tuesday as they stunned co-hosts New Zealand 1-0 thanks to a first-half Sarina Bolden header. New Zealand created a string of second-half chances and had a goal disallowed but the Philippines held on for a famous win in front of 32,357 in Wellington. It was the Philippines' first victory at either a men's or women's World Cup and blows Group A wide open. "I can't believe what we have achieved," said tearful midfielder Sara Eggesvik. "It shows that it's possible to do something big."
