“I know how hard we have to work throughout the game before we go celebrating. This is a special goal, our first goal for the country and its history. We’ve worked hard to come after that,” said Stajcic. The Jitka Klimkova-coached hosts got frustrated after many attempts missed their target and Fil-American goalkeeper McDaniel swatted three of four attempts in the four minutes of added time.
Filipino fans roared the name of the Filipinas after Fil-Australian Angela Beard eluded the defense at the right wing and hit a cross to Bolden, who headed the ball past three defenders. The ball then sailed down past the head of Esson, who fell down in front of the goal mouth.
