Sarina Bolden Strikes the First-ever Goal of Philippines in FIFA Women’s World Cup
SARINA BOLDEN – Filipino-American football player made history as she strikes the first-ever goal for the Philippines in FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Sarina Bolden made Philippine history on Tuesday by scoring the country’s first-ever goal in the FIFA Women’s World Cup at the Sky Stadium. The Filipino-American football player put the Philippine women’s national team ahead of their New Zealand opponent.
Bolden opened the scoring for the Filipinas in the 24th minute, heading in a cross past goalkeeper Victoria Esson. The goal put the Filipinas up 1-0. Crowds erupted in cheers at various watch parties throughout the Philippines following the goal at the Wellington site.
Based on the report, she rushes to the sidelines and is dragged down by the substitutes. Another beautiful set-piece delivery into the area, New Zealand fails to clear it, and Bolden heads it past the goalkeeper from close range.
New Zealand had dominated possession for most of the first half but the Filipinas were rewarded for their hard work when Sara Eggesvik won a free kick inside the Football Ferns’ half. Angie Beard fired a long ball into the box, which New Zealand cleared temporarily, but Eggesvik took control and sent in a cross that Bolden jumped highest to receive.
