Thank you for joining me for this match! Norway had a target, they had to win by three goals to ensure they would go through and they smashed it. It’s tough for the Philippines as they bow out but it has been a historic run for the nation. Have a read of the report when it comes in and keep up to date with Germany Colombia! Apart from that, have a great Sunday!
What did you make of Harrison’s red card? Have a watch below (clip from Fox and so some may not have access):
Colombia are playing well against Germany, that game still 0-0 after half an hour:
Here’s some more history from the Morocco game:
In my opinion this was Haug’s best of her three goals today (clip is from the BBC and so some may not have access):
Co-hosts New Zealand are out and so the home support will be willing Australia to beat Canada to go through. The team are being very evasive about Sam Kerr, the captain missed the two opening matches with injury:
Earlier today, the tournament saw a slice of history as Morocco bagged their first win at a World Cup. Read all here:
Germany and Colombia are up next in today’s action and while neither side can qualify as a result of this match, this is just their second group game, if Germany avoid defeat South Korea are out. That one has just kicked off:
Before this game Norway had not scored a goal at the tournament, now they have six and three belong to Haug! She is now third on the Golden Boot tally:

A few of you may not have come across Haug before with Hegerberg usually in her place, so here’s a bit about her:
Some fun facts from FIFA, Graham Hansen’s goal was hit 29.8 metres out and had a speed of 77kmh. Take a look at the strike (clip is from BBC so some may not have access):
So that is Group A decided! Switzerland go through after topping the group and Norway manage to sneak to the knock-out stages following a thunderous win. Co-hosts New Zealand and the Philippines are out.
Full time! Norway 6-0 Philippines
Norway are through. The Philippines are out. It was a dominant win from Norway which included a hat-trick from Haug after the team did not score in their opening two matches. The Philippines have also had a memorable tournament, their first win with that victory over New Zealand.
90 + 11 min: The other game has finished and it has finished 0-0, co-hosts New Zealand are out! Back to this game and Norway smack the post through Haug and Reiten’s chance is saved!
90 + 9 min: The Philippines have a free kick and it’s a great delivery with Mikalsen punching away. Eggesvik has a shot but it’s wide. Well Norway had a marker in this match, they had to win by three goals. They have met that and more so.
90 + 7 min: Haug is right up there now in the Golden Boot race! Norway want more here as Boe Risa’s shot is over the bar.
GOAL! Norway 6-0 Philippines (Haug, 90+5)
She has her hat-trick! Her easiest of the three, she is beaming.
90 + 5 min: Josendal has another shot on target but McDaniel saves, the keeper has definitely played her part this evening – particularly with that brilliant save on Reiten’s chance.
90 + 3 min: Serrano makes a great challenge to launch a Philippines attack but Norway quickly win it back, it’s been the tale of the match so far.
90 + 1 min: 11 minutes added here.
90 min: The Philippines have done well not to concede more, they have been down to 10 for 20 minutes but have worked the game well. When they have possession they are creating chances and so Norway are taking the sting out of this one, happy to run it through the team. They are patient and McDaniel saves well again – Josendal has a half hearted shot.
88 min: Boe Risa is handed a yellow card for a sliding tackle on Serrano. Philippines have a free kick as a result and McDaniel is over it, this time her boot has too much and it’s out.
86 min: Haug gives away a free kick and McDaniel is over it, the keeper has quite the boot on her. She wallops it and it’s cleared and then Engen wins a free kick herself for Norway to clear their lines.
84 min: Philippines have also made a change with Quezada off for Serrano. OH MY! What a save from McDaniel. Reiten has a great shot but the keeper reads it all the way and lifts it over the bar with one hand. Norway corner to come, it’s in swiftly from Reiten but it’s out for a goal kick.
82 min: There’s a bit of jostling between Long and Haug, they don’t even have the ball but they have an altercation. The referee is having a word with both here. Norway make more changes with Graham Hansen and Harviken off for Josendal and Bergsvand.
80 min: Haug was a whisker away from a hat-trick there, Engen pings the ball in but Haug’s header can’t make contact!
78 min: Boe Risa’s pass is intercepted and the Philippines make a break! A great long pass comes to Quezada but she can’t quite get to it, she would have been offside anyway.
77 min: Cowart sees the ball over the bar for another Norway corner, Graham Hansen passes to the top of the box and Norway are forced back to half way.
76 min: That was a really poor corner from Graham Hansen, it goes straight into the side netting.
75 min: Graham Hansen dribbles, dribbles and just keeps dribbling! Her shot is deflected over by Sawicki – a great intervention but concedes a corner.
74 min: The red card seems to have galvanised this Philippines side and they are playing with more energy but Norway are away here. Engen receives the ball in the box but her shot is blocked.
72 min: Bolden wins a corner and Beard takes it, Mikalsen punches away and the chance is gone. Bjelde was one of the player to come off by the way, she limped to the bench.
70 min: Among that Norway have made three changes with Engen, Sonstevold and I didn’t catch the other but will update you when I have it! Graham Hansen takes a shot but it’s over.
RED CARD! Norway 5-0 Philippines (Harrison, 67')
Harrison has just come on! She is given her marching orders. I got it wrong, Bjelde was not the player involved in the potential penalty, her challenge came after from Harrison.
66 min: Oh my god, VAR are checking for a Philippines red card on the challenge on Bjelde!
64 min: The crowd are even louder, if that’s possible, when the Philippines get on the ball. The team must be lifted by their support, the atmosphere is electric. A loose pass sees Reiten with it, she crosses but Haug’s run isn’t timed well and the chance is gone. But here come the Philippines! They have a great cross but there’s a collision in the box, the crowd want a penalty for Bjelde’s foul but it isn’t given. The Norwegian is down injured after that and receiving treatment.
62 min: Maanum’s first shot is blocked but it’s brought back to her and her lofted chance is wide.
