Obviously, we conceded a goal in the first 35 seconds of the game. And the way the players responded to that first few minutes of the game was absolutely excellent,&quot; Torcaso said after the match.</p><p>South Korea&#x27;s Cho Hyo-joo found the back of the net almost immediately, forcing the Filipinas to play catch-up for the rest of the match. A Choe Yu-ri goal made it 2-nil in the 33rd minute.</p><p>But Beard lifted the Filipinas&#x27; spirits with a screamer in the 74th, converting off a free kick from way outside the box. It was Beard&#x27;s maiden goal for the Philippines as well.</p><div><iframe allowfullscreen="" allowtransparency="true" class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" frameBorder="0" height="510" id="instagram-embed-2" scrolling="no" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5f9uxzNxTC/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fnews-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A2822079.299999997%2C%22ls%22%3A1052596.0999999978%2C%22le%22%3A1053034.1999999993%7D" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>&quot;I&#x27;m so proud of the way the girls conducted themselves. Even when they went 2-nil down, they still fought hard and they gave us a chance,&quot; Torcaso said.</p><p>&quot;I couldn&#x27;t be prouder of this group of girls, this country, all our staff, all our players. Unfortunately, we didn&#x27;t get the result, but we fought really hard to the end and we&#x27;re very, very happy,&quot; he added.</p><p>South Korea dominated possession and had 30 shots, 10 of which were on target. But after giving up the early goal, the Philippines&#x27; defense buckled down to work and kept South Korea in check in the second half.</p><p>The Filipinas have yet to score a victory in 2024 but Torcaso is happy with the progress that his team is making, especially as they have been playing higher-ranked squads.</p><p>&quot;We wanted to slightly bridge the gap between our national team and the top teams in Asia,&quot; the coach said. &quot;Obviously we wanna keep getting better. We wanna bridge that gap and make sure that next time that we have these chances, we can win the game.&quot;</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable" frameBorder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VCqeK732eOA?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" width="640"></iframe></div>
