The Philippine Women’s National Football Team is set to make history, advancing to their first-ever SEA Games gold medal match after a thrilling semifinal win over host Thailand at Chonburi Stadium.

The game saw heart-stopping drama as Jael-Marie Guy converted a crucial penalty in the 87th minute to tie the match at 1-1, sending it into extra time.

The Filipinas then held their nerve in the penalty shootout, converting all four of their attempts. Captain Hali Long confidently slotted the decisive fourth kick, putting immense pressure on Thailand.

The victory was sealed when Thailand’s Orapin Waennngoen missed her attempt, sending the ball over the bar.

The Filipinas now prepare for a mouth-watering showdown against Vietnam in the gold medal match on Wednesday, a rematch of their 1-0 group stage win.

With history within reach, Philippine women’s football is poised for a defining moment.
