The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup has been a thrilling event, with the Philippines making history by winning their first-ever match in the tournament. The game took place at Wellington Regional Stadium in New Zealand, where the Philippines faced off against the co-hosts on July 25th, 2023.


The spotlight was on Sarina Bolden, a California-born player representing the Philippines, who scored the first-ever goal for her country in a World Cup match. This decisive moment occurred in the 24th minute of the game, when Bolden executed a perfect header, marking not only the first goal for the Philippines in the tournament but also the only goal of the match. This led to a 1-0 victory over New Zealand, a result that left spectators and fans in awe.


Despite several attempts by New Zealand to equalize, including a goal in the second half that was disallowed due to an offside call, the Philippines held their ground. The match saw close calls and intense moments, such as a shot by New Zealand's Jacqui Hand that went just off the post, and a crucial clearance by Olivia McDaniel to stop a fast-approaching Hannah Wilkinson. 



The Philippines' victory was not just a personal triumph for Bolden, but a monumental achievement for the team as a whole. They had entered the tournament as underdogs, but their performance against New Zealand proved that they were a force to be reckoned with. Their five-player defense successfully stifled New Zealand's attack, limiting their space and opportunities to score. 


This historic match was part of a larger event that saw 36 nations compete in the Women's World Cup. The United States holds the record for the most successful Women's World Cup team, having won four titles. The final of the tournament is set to take place on August 20, 2023, at Sydney Olympic Stadium in Sydney, Australia.
