After qualifying for the first time for the FIFA Women’s World Cup next year, the Pinay booters on Saturday, May 21, also ended the country’s 37-year medal drought in the Southeast Asian Games by bagging a bronze medal in Vietnam. Bolden again was instrumental in the Filipinas’ second goal with her timely lob to Quezada who maneuvered the ball past Myanmar’s defenders and goalkeeper giving the Filipinas a 2-1 advantage which they protected until the final whistle.“It was the best performance we had in this tournament,” said Stajcic. “We showed amazing heart and spirit to the death to get the win. It was a performance to be proud of,” said head coach Alen Stajcic in a post on the PFF website.
“We look at this as our first medal in the SEA Games as a big achievement for the group. We are a new team playing at this level and competing against Vietnam, Thailand, and Myanmar so we’re going to have ups and downs,” added Stajcic.
