Argentina emerged triumphant but the Philippines raised the roof in a FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup™ thriller. Nicolas Noriega’s flew out of the blocks, Mailen Romero starring as they raced into a five-goal advantage. A rout appeared on the cards, but the Filipina5 fought back heroically, taking the game to their illustrious opponents and scoring through Isabella Bandoja. That erupted PhilSports Arena.
Argentina finished the game having gone through on maximum points. The Philippines, futsal novices against global elite, finished it having done themselves proud.
