The Philippine Azkals' dream for a World Cup is alive as it defeated the troubled Sri Lanka Brave Reds today, July 3, in the First Round, Leg 2 (Game 2), of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier, infront of a home crowd in a jampacked Rizal Memorial Football Stadium in Manila.
Despite the rain which started pouring at the Rizal Stadium at the start of the first half until midway through the second, everyone was in high spirits.
Organizers said around fifteen thousand people watched the game. We heard some vuvuzelas at the bleachers. The Kaholeros were in full force.
The two teams had very good defense. Sri Lanka's goalkeeper went down and suffered a slightly injury/cut.
After many attempts, the Azkals were able to make a goal down 19 minutes in the 1st half. Chieffy Caligdong scored for the Philippines 1-0. Aggregate score was 2-1 in favor of the Azkals.
Stephen Schrock got 2 yellow cards. He will not be allowed to play in the next game of the Azkals against Kuwait.
Phil Younghusband scored for the Philippines, stretched the lead to 2. Cameras captured actress Angel Locsin jumping for joy. Azkals on aggregate was 3-1. Down by two, the game commentators said the away team needed more effort to salvage the game.
Gerardo Valmayor scored off a pass from James Younghusband. Azkals led by 3; aggregate 4-1 in favor of the Azkals. Phil Younghusband scored off a penalty kick, Azkals led 4-0; aggregate 5-1 with sixty two minutes gone.
Ali Borromeo picked up a yellow card. He is going to miss the match vs Kuwait. Huge development for the Philippines there. Then Caligdong was feared to be injured, but the referees didn't give the penalty. He went out of the game temporarily at 73 minutes gone. Caligdong checked back in after a while, although he got substituted again 2 minutes after.
James Younghusband and Ian Araneta had several tries each but didn't make them. Eighty six minutes gone. Sri Lankan player got his 2nd yellow card, been given the red. Sri Lanka down to 10 men on the field.
Azkals vs Sri Lanka game result - final score at fulltime: 4-0; aggregate 5-1. The Philippine Azkals will play against Kuwait in the next round.
The Azkals dominated Game 2 and had a very excellent performance on Sunday, a great day for Philippine sports. Congratulations!
