Women’s World Cup 2023: Live scores, fixtures, results, tables and top scorersCNN —New Zealand picked up an unwanted record by becoming the first host nation knocked out at the Women’s World Cup group stages, after its 0-0 draw against Switzerland on Sunday. The tournament had started so well for the cohost when it shocked Norway 1-0 in the opening game, securing its first ever World Cup win. New Zealand players applaud fans after crashing out of the Women's World Cup. “I’m just happy that we made it to the World Cup and happy that we were able to get a result, get a win,” she told CNN Sport. “It felt like a home game, which doesn’t happen often especially in the World Cup,” she added.

Given where the journey had started and where it had led, it was no wonder that watching the Philippines win a game at the Women’s World Cup felt as if it defied rational explanation, even to those involved. Now that same team had beaten New Zealand — on home soil, no less — and with the whole world watching. It was impossible to imagine that a team that had been there could ever be here, and vice versa. “Overwhelming, crazy,” said Sarina Bolden, the live-wire forward who had scored her country’s first goal at a World Cup. He started out at “staggering” and went from there, cycling through “miraculous and unbelievable” before landing on “mind-blowing.”

The Philippines lost 2-0 to Switzerland in their opening match and looked to be an easy mark for the Football Ferns, who were coming off their first-ever World Cup win over former champions Norway and looking to book a spot in the last 16. Instead, the Philippines secured their own first World Cup win to keep alive their hopes of progressing in their debut tournament. Bott looped a cross into the box but Hannah Wilkinson, the hero of New Zealand's opening win on Thursday, sent her header over the bar. The Philippines close out their Group A against 1995 winners Norway on Sunday, while New Zealand face Switzerland.

Led by coach Alen Stajcic, who formerly coached the Australian Women’s National Team, the squad will make history no matter the result of Friday’s game. ‘The word is spreading’Before joining the national team, California born Sarina Bolden – whose penalty kick clinched the island nation’s spot at the tournament – had never been to the Philippines. The 27-year-old is hopeful her country’s presence in the World Cup will promote soccer both in the Philippines – where other sports such as basketball and boxing remain more popular – and among the Filipino diaspora. In 2022, she was a key part of the Philippine National team that progressed to the knockout stages of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup for the first time. Bolden said she’s already seen awareness and interest grow in the Philippines following the team’s on field successes and historic qualification for the World Cup.
