After going seven matches without a victory, Switzerland returned to winning ways in their World Cup opener against the Philippines.

Ramona Bachmann dispatched her spot kick on the stroke of half time, before Seraina Piubel found the net in the second period to round off a 2-0 win.

The result represents their maiden clean sheet at the World Cup finals and their fourth shutout in the last seven matches.

After reaching the knockout round at their only previous World Cup appearance in 2015, Switzerland are well set to repeat the feat in Australia and New Zealand.

They can secure their place in the last 16 with a game to spare if they win and Philippines fail to beat New Zealand.

In contrast to their opponents, Norway are at risk of being eliminated after they begun the tournament with a 1-0 defeat to New Zealand.

A second-half strike from Hannah Wilkinson proved enough to guide the co-hosts to victory and leave Norway without a win in five matches.

After losing their opener, Hege Riise's side know that they will be knocked out of the tournament if they lose and New Zealand pick up a point against Philippines.

An early exit would be a disaster for a nation that have reached the knockout rounds in seven of the previous eight World Cup finals.

Norway are hoping to win their second group game at a World Cup for the first time since 1999, after losing three and drawing two of their last five matches that have taken place on matchday two.
