    HANOI - The Philippine women's football team pulled off a dramatic 2-1 victory over Myanmar to capture the bronze medal in the 31st Southeast Asian Games at the Cam Pha Stadium in Quang Ninh.

    Filipinas win bronze

    Sarina Bolden scored the equalizer in the 73rd minute before Quinley Quezada notched the go-ahead goal three minutes later to stun Myanmar.

    The Filipinas celebrated the victory on the field after the final whistle, to give the team their first SEA Games medal in 37 years when the Philippines won the bronze in 1985 when the women's tournament only had three teams.

      Bolden struck after escaping two defenders to knock in the first goal of the Filipinas. She was also responsible for the second goal, setting up Quezada for a beautiful left-footed strike from inside the box to beat Myanmar ‘keeper May Zin New.

      It was a redemption of sorts for Bolden and Quezada, who were key figures in the 2019 team that nearly won a bronze against the same Myanmar team at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in similar fashion as Saturday.

      Quezada struck first with a goal in the 57th minute, only for Myanmar to score goals in the 78th and 80th minute.
