The final group showdown for Norway Women and Philippines will come up thos Sunday as the square off at Eden Park in New Zealand.
The Norwegians have it all to play for, having played out a goalless draw against Switzerland in their second group game last week. They kicked off their tournament with a shock 1-0 defeat against co-hosts New Zealand, leaving them rooted to the bottom of Group A on one point.
The Philippines, meanwhile, shocked New Zealand in a 1-0 victory last week. Sarina Bolden’s 24th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides. They earlier fell to a 2-0 defeat against Switzerland and are currently third in the group on three points.
This will be the first meeting between the two sides. Norway are currently winless in six games. This represents their worst run of form in 10 years. The Philippines have scored more than a single goal in just one of their last five games.
