Slovenian women’s national team faced the Philippines national team in the third-place match of a friendly tournament in Spain. After another excellent performance by our girls, this time they secured a victory. Slovenian women celebrated a 1-0 win, with the only goal of the match scored by Lana Golob in the fifth minute. Lana Golob plays for Leuven in Belgium.
Slovenian women were the lowest ranked…
The Slovenian team opened the match decisively, which was soon rewarded. After a corner kick from Kaja Korošec, in the fifth minute, Lara Prašnikar took a shot towards the goal, which was initially blocked by one of the Filipino defenders. Both teams’ players helplessly watched the “pinball” in front of the goal, and Lana Golob eventually put the ball over the goal line from close range. Both teams created several more opportunities until the end of the match, but no more goals were scored. With this victory, Slovenian women celebrated third place in the Pinatar Cup.
In the final, the teams of Finland and Scotland faced each other, with Finland emerging victorious after a real penalty shootout. The regular part of the match ended with a score of 1-1, and we witnessed six series of penalty kicks. It’s worth mentioning that Slovenia was the lowest-ranked team in the FIFA rankings during this tournament.
