The Philippine women's national football team secured its first ever win in the FIFA Women's World Cup after beating co-host New Zealand, 1-0.

The Filipinas, making their debut as the first football team from their country to reach a men's or women's World Cup, went ahead in the 24th minute off a header by Sarina Bolden (7).

Goal-keeper Olivia McDaniel (1) then dealt with wave after wave of attack from New Zealand in the second half to keep the clean sheet.

The Filipinas exemplified teamwork and determination to bring the historic win for the country.
