There is still a lot of play for in the final matches in Group A on Sunday, as Norway look to bounce back following two disappointing performances. However, the Philippines could progress to the knockout round for the first time with at least a point on Sunday.
History could be made at the Women’s World Cup on Sunday, as the Philippines will be looking to successfully achieve qualification to the knockout round for the first time in their history. The nation caused a shock result in their second match in Group A, as they stunned New Zealand to land a 1-0 victory. Their only goal in the game was scored after 24 minutes by Sarina Boiden, and they defended excellently to hold on to that advantage against the hosts.
It was a memorable victory for the minnows, as they became the first World Cup debutants in this year’s edition of the tournament to land a win. Meanwhile, it was the first time that an AFC debutant had kept a World Cup clean sheet since both China PR and Chinese Taipei managed the feat in the 1991 tournament.
Norway have been among the sides that have underperformed at the World Cup this summer, and they could be eliminated from the competition at the first hurdle for only the second time in their history. They reached the quarterfinals in 2019, but they will need a victory and hope results go their way to achieve a top two finish this weekend.
Norway recorded a draw in their second match in the competition against Switzerland. The result means that they have failed to win in four successive matches at the World Cup, which is their longest ever winless run at the competition.
This is the first meeting between these two nations. Norway has a solid recent record against nations from the AFC region, as they have won each of their last five since a 5-0 defeat against China in the 1999 World Cup.
This will be a famous night in the history of Philippine football, and they will be hopeful of not letting the opportunity pass them by. However, Norway’s talent on the pitch is challenging to overlook, and we would be incredibly surprised if they aren’t able to put together a performance capable of winning this match.
