The Slovenian women’s national team is currently in Spain, participating in the Pinatar friendly tournament alongside Finland, Scotland, and the Philippines. Yesterday, our girls faced the Finnish national team but, despite a good performance, had to acknowledge the opponent’s superiority. The Finns will compete in the final against the Scottish national team, which was 2-0 better than the Philippines. Slovenian and Filipino women will compete for third place. The match is scheduled for Tuesday.
Slovenians a more quality opponent, but…
The Slovenian team played the game much more energetically than their opponents, completely outperforming a team that is considerably higher on the FIFA ranking than Slovenia (Finland 27th place, Slovenia 44th place). Our girls fired a total of 12 shots towards Milla-Maj Majasaari’s goal, of which eight were on target. On the other side, the Finnish players created three shots, only one of which was on target, and it actually ended up behind Zala Meršnik’s back.
Fifteen players had the opportunity to play yesterday, and Naja Poje Mihelič celebrated her debut in the national team by entering the game in the 85th minute. She replaced the long-time representative Špela Kolbl.
