The Philippine women's football team yields in the 2023 Pinatar Cup opener in Spain as Kayleigh Green’s first-half penalty powers Wales.
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine women’s football team absorbed a 1-0 loss in its Pinatar Cup debut against world No. 32 Wales at the Pinatar Arena in San Pedro del Pinatar, Spain on Wednesday, February 15 .
The Philippines wound up at third place in the four-team table with 0 points and a -1 goal difference, while Wales placed second with 3 points and a +1 goal difference. Quinley Quezada, Sara Eggesvik, Jessika Cowart, and team captain Tahnai Annis started at the midfield and supported the two forwards in Carleigh Frilles and Isabella Flanigan.
McDaniel faced her first test at the 17’ mark as she denied Rachel Rowe’s attempt at close range following a loose pass from teammate Ceri Holland. Stajcic continued to tinker with his lineup as he put in Meryll Serrano, Malea Cesar, and Anicka Castañeda for Annis, Barker, and Frilles at the 64th minute, but the fresh substitutes fell short of recording a goal.
