The Filipinas end the second round of the 2024 AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament with a 1-0 win over Iran, but marching onto the third round is now out of the hands of the national team.

Captain Tahnai Annis netted the game's lone goal in the 19th minute as the Filipinas ended the second round with 6 points, placing second in Group A behind Australia.

The Philippines can still enter the third round of the Olympic qualifiers if they finish as the best second-place squad among the three groups.

That will happen if the game between China and South Korea match ends up in a draw, and India either beats or draws Uzbekistan tonight. A win from China, South Korea, or Uzbekistan would officially eliminate the Filipinas from the qualifiers.
