Philippine Azkals Wins Against Sri Lankan Brave Reds in July 3 Game

The Philippine National Football Team Azkals won against Sri Lanka's Brave Reds with an aggregate score of 5-1 during the 2014 FIFA World Cup Preliminary Competition in Asia.

Both teams got 1 goals each during the first leg of the game held in Sugathadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka last June 29. Nate Burkey scored that lone goal for the Azkals.

The second leg of the game was held July 3, 2011 at the Rizal Memorial Stadium, Manila, which was flocked by Filipino fans who were ever supportive of the country's football team.

The first half ended with 2-0 in favor of the Azkals. First goal was scored by Chieffy Caligdong while the second one was by the crowd favorite Phil Younghusband.

Angel Guirado Aldeguer scored the third goal during the second half. The fourth goal, which came from a penalty kick by Phil Younghusband, put the game beyond Sri Lanka.

The game ended with a score of 4-0 in favor of the Philippine Azkals, and they won with an aggregate score of 5-1, making them advance to the second round of World Cup Qualifier vs. Kuwait.

Starting 11  were Etheridge, del Rosario, Borromeo, Gier, Ott, Schrock, Mulders, Guirado, J. Younghusband, Caligdong, and P.Younghusband.

It's just so unfortunate that Aly Borromeo and Stephan Schrock will miss the next match versus Kuwait after accumulating 2 yellow cards.

Angel Locsin was a camera favorite who watched the game with fellow actress Bubbles Paraiso. The two were flashed many times especially during the two times Phil Younghusband scored. It is well known that Phil and Angel are dating.
