Tolentin made history as she scored the country’s first goal in the Futsal Women’s World Cup.

The Philippines had a tough campaign in the Futsal Women’s World Cup.
First, the Filipina5 absorbed a 0-6 loss to Poland before suffering a 2-3 heartbreak at the hands of Morocco.
The Philippines even lost 1-5 to Argentina last Thursday with Isabella Bandoja scoring the lone goal for the hosts.
Bandoja, who also represented the Philippines in the ASEAN Women’s Futsal Championship last year, said she felt the love from the fans in their campaign.
“Their support gives me goosebumps. It’s like the entire Philippines is here to cheer us,” Bandoja said.
“I hope by watching us play, I hope they continue training harder and they continue dreaming bigger.”
The Philippines will now shift its focus to the 33rd Southeast Asian Games in Thailand from 9 to 20 December.
