The Philippine women’s football team’s podium mission in their first-ever Asian Games hit a speed bump on Monday as the Filipinas lost to South Korea, 5-1, at the Wenzhou Sports Centre Stadium.
Hwayeon Son led the cavalry for Korea as she netted a hat-trick to place her team firmly in front of the standings of Group E.
Meryll Serrano and Bolden connived for a dream start for the Filipinas after Serrano delivered a through ball to Bolden in the 8th minute. But celebrations were cut short for the Filipinas as Garam Chun quickly netted the equalizer in the 11th minute. Energized by the quick equalizer, the Koreans ramped up the attack as the Filipinas were stuck on the defensive for most of the opening half.
