New Zealand vs Philippines preview
It's been an eventful few days for New Zealand, who meet the Philippines in the second match of Group A at the Women's World Cup on Tuesday. The co-hosts pulled off arguably the shock of the tournament by beating Norway in their opening game of the tournament, while also having to subsequently deal with an attempted arson attack on the team hotel in Auckland. The Philippines were spirited in defeat to Switzerland, can they now cause their own upset?
New Zealand had never won a match at the Women's World Cup finals before they beat former winners Norway in the 2023 edition's spectacular first game. Facing a Norway squad packed with stars, including former Ballon d'Or winner Ada Hegerberg, New Zealand were superb on opening night after Melbourne City forward Hannah Wilkinson finished a fine move. Sure, they rode their luck at times as Brighton defender Rebekah Stott put in a resolute rearguard display, but the Football Ferns ran out deserved victors. Already moved hotels once because of the recent deadly shooting in Auckland, the co-hosts have since been forced to another accommodation after an attempted arson not thought to be related to the team. Roared on by an expectant nation, captain Ali Riley and Co will have an eye on a win to all but guarantee a place in the knockouts.
This is the first time the Philippines have reached the Women's World Cup finals and Alen Stajcic's side gave a good account of themselves, despite falling to a 2-0 defeat to Switzerland in their opening fixture. Katrina Guillou even had a goal disallowed for offside before the Swiss proved their experience at this level and emerge victors. Busy and determined throughout, the Filipinas want to be inspired by facing the co-hosts, rather than being wary of another big expected crowd. "Traditionally, being a host nation or home team in any game of football has been an advantage," boss Stajcic said. "Fortunately, we don't have to play against 25,000 people, we only have to play against the 11. You have to embrace it. It's a brilliant occasion for football and for New Zealand and for our team and our country as well."
