The 72nd-ranked Malditas look to pull off the mother of upsets against the No. 16 Koreans in the 8 p.m. match (1 a.m. Tuesday Philippine time) and clinch the last slot in the 2019 Fifa Women’s World Cup. We will go out and try to play without pressure.”They’re the overwhelming favorite in this World Cup playoff match-up but Korea mentor Yoon Duk-yeo maintained they won’t take the Filipinas lightly. Because of that, we need to respect our upcoming opponents and put all our efforts into winning the game so we can go into the World Cup,” said Yoon. Semifinalists China and Thailand from Group A and Australia and Japan from Group B have cornered the first four WWC slots at stake in the Asian meet.
