Philippine Azkals wins against Palestine, places third in 2012 AFC Challenge Cup

The Philippine Azkals won against Palestine in the match held March 19th in Nepal. The game ended with a score of 4-3.

It was a fight for the third place, after the Azkals lost to Turkmenistan last Friday and failed to snatch the chance to be in the finals.

The four goals were courtesy of Phil Younghusband during the 4th and 24th minutes, Angel Guirado during the 42nd minute and Juani Guirado during the 70th minute.

Edward Sacapano was the team’s goal keeper because Neil Etheridge was given a red card during their previous match.

They may not have made it to the finals, but the Azkals made history in Philippine football with their third place finish and has kept the hopes up of the Pinoy football fans for more exciting games in the future.
