THE Philippines eyes a spot in the quarterfinals when it battles winless Indonesia today at the close of their Group B campaign in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup at the Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune, India.
Three days after holding top seed Australia to a scoreless stalemate at the half before eventually dropping a 0-4 decision, the Filipina booters are expected to go all out for their second group win that will ensure their safe passage into the next round.
The game is set at 7:30 p.m. (10 p.m. Manila time), with a victory by the Philippines not only sustaining its FIFA Women’s World Cup hopes but also guaranteeing the country’s best finish in the continental soccer showcase for either men and women.
