In the second round of Group A of the World Cup, the host New Zealand Women's Soccer Team is still proud of their defeat, and they will fight against the Philippines in the second round of the World Cup. New Zealand, who beat Norway in the first round, wants to ride on their victory to get out of the tournament, but their grasp is a bit lacking, and there are still doubts about their opponents' all-around suppression; while the Philippines has no win in hand, and their hope of getting out of the tournament is slim, so they must go all out and must not have any more failures. New Zealand has scored 2 goals or less in 6 of their last 7 matches, so a 2.5 goal margin might be a wise choice. (Highlights live on Now 630 at 1.30pm on Tuesday)
As one of the hosts of this year's World Cup, New Zealand narrowly defeated the traditional Norwegian powerhouse 1-0 in their opening match, thanks to a killer strike from goal scorer Hannah Wijnsson. The match attracted more than 42,000 fans, setting a new record for the largest crowd attendance in New Zealand soccer history, and the atmosphere was electric.
"Filipina" strengthens its defense strategy to stay alive.
The New Zealand women's soccer team, cheered on by their home fans, aggressively mounted a comeback to win the game. Along with goal-scorer Hannah Wijensen, there were excellent performances from the likes of Chaggy Hunt and goalkeeper Victoria Eschen. But a missed penalty kick by Berthswahl late in the game exposed the team's inconsistent shooting at key moments. Looking back at New Zealand's last seven matches, six of which have seen two or fewer goals, the tactical play has been solid, and it is expected that there will not be too many goals in this match.
The Philippine women's soccer team lost their first match against Switzerland 0-2, and if they lose again in this match, the road to qualification will be more difficult. This game can be seen as a do-or-die battle, even if they can't win, they still hope to get points to keep their hopes of qualifying. Facing the powerful New Zealand, the Philippines is expected to tighten its defense and try not to concede any goals. 2.5 goals may be a conservative choice.
