Classified as one of the anticipated clashes in the Women's World Cup, the match between Philippines (Wom) and Switzerland (Wom) provided a thorough exhibition of Swiss precision and strategy. The match, however, saw Switzerland (Wom) sealing a decisive 2-0 win over the Philippines (Wom)—a testament of their effective game plan and superior on-field performance as validated by the metrics given below.

While the away team's goals were undeniably the significant highlights of the contest, the sheer variance in strategic approaches of both teams was also noteworthy in shaping the outcome. Switzerland's (Wom) early goal in the first half at 00:44:56, swiftly followed by another at 01:04:05 in the second half, heavily influenced game momentum. This took a toll on the Philippines (Wom), who failed to register any goal despite their efforts.

Analyzing the match from a statistical angle, the Philippine team managed only a single offside, an indication that their attacking stance was comparatively subdued. On the contrary, Switzerland (Wom) managed to get flagged offside twice, suggestive of their more aggressive, forward thrusts which eventually led to the two goals.

Corner kicks, often a sign of offensive pressure and opportunities created, were dominated by Switzerland (Wom) with 3 kicks as opposed to none for the Philippines (Wom). Throughout the game, the home team was relatively disciplined with only one yellow card compared to two for Switzerland (Wom), and fouls made were less (6) compared to Switzerland's (Wom) 9. However, this was not enough to lessen Swiss dominance over the course of the match.

In terms of teamwork and performance, Switzerland’s (Wom) superior positional play was notably a factor in their victory. Their comprehensive control over the game, an intense forward press, and the relentless attacking approach paid them dividends and kept the defense of Philippines (Wom) overwhelmingly occupied. The lack of corner-kicks for the home team reflected their struggle to create constructive chances.

To sum up, this match underlined the fact that quantity doesn't always translate to quality. Even though Switzerland earned more fouls and yellow cards, their offensive strategy paid off, while the disciplined Filipinos, despite fewer infractions, lacked the prowess in creating scoring opportunities, thereby folding under Swiss pressure. This match reinforced the emphasis on harmonious teamwork and efficient game strategies, which can often prove decisive irrespective of penalties or infractions.
