The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup campaign of the Philippines came to an end with a 6-0 loss at the hands of Norway on Sunday, July 30, in Auckland, New Zealand.

Six minutes from the kickoff, Sophie Haug made the first goal for the Norwegians.

Norway, who places 12th in the FIFA Women's World Rankings, enjoyed a 3-0 lead by the end of the first half courtesy of another goal by Haug, and Caroline Hansen.

The woes of the Filipinas, ranked no. 46 in the world, continued in the second half after Philippines' Alicia Barker conceded an own goal, and penalty kick by Norway's Guro Reiten.
