00:00 It was a close game for the Philippines,
00:02 they scored their first point in the FIFA Women's World Cup
00:05 against a team with a higher ranking in Switzerland.
00:09 On the other hand, it was a close game for Thomas Ganadon
00:11 who scored a crucial point in their home town favorite New Zealand.
00:16 Here's what Key Asuncion has to say.
00:18 2-0 was the result of the Philippines' first ever
00:24 FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023
00:26 against the world's number 20 Switzerland.
00:29 This Friday in Dunedin, New Zealand.
00:31 The Swiss team's goal came from the penalty kick
00:34 of a striker, Ramona Bachmann, in the 45th minute
00:37 and Riley Fubel in the 65th minute.
00:40 Sad we didn't get the result that we wanted.
00:43 We did our best and we fought.
00:46 It's a shame that we got a penalty.
00:48 That's a certain momentum in the game.
00:52 It was a good point, a good time to score.
00:57 We will keep fighting and we have new games to play.
01:02 There was a slight delay for the team that didn't score in the 16th minute.
01:08 Katrina Giliu was already moving forward
01:10 with the lost points for the country.
01:12 The celebration of the first goal of the match was cut short
01:15 after the offside was called for the conversion of Giliu.
01:18 I think we started off pretty strong and made things pretty difficult for them.
01:22 We were hopping into spaces and covering a lot of the gaps.
01:25 I think that was good.
01:27 Unfortunately, we let up two goals overall in 90 minutes.
01:30 But I think for a first World Cup and a debutante game,
01:34 there's a lot of things we can take and look forward to in our next game.
01:38 While Olivia McDaniel's team made a lot of attempts to save the game,
01:44 the starting goalkeeper of the country is more determined
01:47 for the next match.
01:49 Unfortunately, we get an unfortunate PK and mess around in the box.
01:54 But I mean, things won't go our way sometimes
01:56 and we just have to keep building up from that.
01:58 Learn from this time and get ready to go for the next one.
02:01 We'll take this loss.
02:02 We'll think about what we've done wrong.
02:04 Think about what we need to do better and then just apply it to the next game.
02:08 But we're confident and ready to win the next one.
02:10 The Pinay squad is now below the standings of Group A
02:14 while Switzerland is ahead.
02:16 The host of New Zealand is on the next assignment of the Philippines
02:19 to refresh from the win against the current third-placer Norway on Thursday.
