The Philippines' Sarina Bolden in action against Jordan during the Pink Ladies Week in Antalya, Türkiye, October 26, 2024. PFF-PWNFTMANILA (UPDATED) -- An early goal by Sarina Bolden set the tone for the Philippine women's national team in their 3-0 demolition of Jordan in the Pink Ladies Week in Antalya, Türkiye on Saturday evening (Manila time).

It took just two minutes for the Filipinas to get on the board, with Janae DeFazio highlighting her debut by finding Bolden for a header.

"Scoring really early was crucial," Filipinas coach Mark Torcaso said afterward. "In the first five or ten minutes, [we] scored a great goal. Janae, our new player, with the great ball in for Sarina, and Sarina does what she does."

DeFazio, who played for Kansas City in the NWSL, also had a hand in the second goal as she laid the ball off for Bolden, who was pulled down inside the box by Jordan's Ayah Al-Majali in the 68th minute. Bolden coolly converted the penalty for a 2-0 advantage.

The Filipinas were given another spot kick in the 77th, when Jordan captain Maysa Jbarah undercut Quinley Quezada inside the box. This time, it was Katrina Guillou who stepped up, slotting the ball past Rawand Kassap.

The Filipinas, ranked 39th by FIFA to Jordan's 74, enjoyed majority of the possession and were only in real trouble once -- in the 57th minute, when a Sara Eggesvik handball inside the box gave Jordan a penalty.

But Olivia McDaniel was up to the task, saving Al-Majali's spot kick to keep the Philippines ahead. Bolden scored the Filipinas' second 10 minutes later and Jordan barely threatened the rest of the way.

The Filipinas celebrate after Olivia McDaniel (1) saves a penalty against Jordan in the Pink Ladies Week in Antalya, Türkiye, October 26, 2024. Handout/PFF-PWNFTTorcaso called McDaniel's save another key moment in the win, and he was especially pleased that they scored their second goal soon after.

"That virtually shut the game down," said the coach.

"I think the really important thing is we got a win, because we haven't played together for a period of six months, and for now to get a good win, against a good opponent who came out and pressured us in situations, it was a really pleasing thing," Torcaso also said.

This marked the Filipinas' return to action after a pair of friendlies against South Korea in April. 

They will play Kenya on October 30, still at the Emirhan Sports Complex in Antalya.
