The Philippines opened its FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup campaign with a 0-6 loss to Poland, but viewed it as a learning experience rather than a setback.
Co-skippers Isabella Flanigan and Inday Tolentin emphasized that the team will take lessons from the game and focus on improving for their next match.
Despite early resistance, the 14th-ranked Polish team pulled away in the second half, scoring four goals to seal the win.
The Filipina5 nearly scored early, with Tolentin hitting the post, but coach Rafa Merino noted missed opportunities could have shifted the momentum.
The hosts now turn their attention to Monday’s clash against Morocco, who also lost 0-6 in their opener.
