In the first match of Group A, the home team New Zealand, although not as highly appreciated as the Norwegian team, with the support of the home audience helped coach Kimkova’s teachers and students get a close victory with a score of 1-0. This victory opened the way for the New Zealand team to reach the World Cup for the first time in history after 6 appearances.

To do this, the home team New Zealand needs to overcome the team that is considered the weakest in Group A, the Philippines, in the match taking place at 12:30 (Vietnam time). Certainly the girls of New Zealand are more appreciated, but the Philippines team also showed a very uncomfortable close play in the 0-2 loss to the Swiss team in the opening match.

In the other match of Group A at 15:00, the Norwegian team will face the Swiss team. After an unexpected defeat against the home team, the Norwegian girls need to get a win if they do not want to be eliminated early. In contrast, the Swiss team also wants to have tickets to go on soon, so this will be a very attractive match.

In the earliest match of July 25 at 9 o’clock, the Korean team will face the Colombian team in Group H. This will be the opening match of the two teams and certainly no team wants to lose when in the same group as the very strong German team and the Moroccan team. Korean girls (17th) are rated higher than Colombia’s (25th place), but South American girls still promise to create surprises.
