Philippines – Palestine Preview: A Battle for Third Place

By

The Philippine National Football Team must set aside the heartbreak of Friday’s 2-1 semi-final defeat against Turkmenistan as they get ready to face the equally resilient Palestine Al-Fursan (Knights) on Monday’s third place match of the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup.

Palestine has never lost a match whenever Attal manages to drive the ball on the back of the net. Murad has not been named on their squad in Kathmandu. In his absence however, the Filipinos should set its sights on 2006 Challenge Cup top scorer Fahed Attal. The 5’11” striker scored his thirteenth international goal last week against hosts Nepal in their group stage fixture.

In the second half however, the Azkals started to bite back, with Chieffy Caligdong and Yanti Barsales conspiring to score what would have been the game winner for the Philippines in the 64th minute. Aside from having more shots, the Azkals had a 7-3 advantage in free kicks.

Like the 156th-ranked Azkals, the 160th-ranked Knights are going home with their heads high no matter the result of this match as both squads are now guaranteed their respective best finishes in this tournament’s history.

Midfielders James Younghusband of Loyola Meralco Sparks FC and Angel Guirado of Global FC have served their suspensions and can be named by coach Hans Michael Weiss in his lineup against the Knights. With Etheridge of Fulham FC suspended after a late sending-off in the semis, Ed Sacapano of Army Fritz & Macziol will most likely man the Filipinos’ net.

Philippines Go for Glory Against Palestine in AFC Challenge Cup Final

By

The Philippine national team is off to embark to rewrite history all over again when they face Palestine in the final of the AFC Challenge Cup Friday night (Saturday morning in Manila) at the National Stadium, Male.

Goals from Phil Younghusband, who has netted 36 international goals, Jerry Lucena, and Chris Greatwich, along with the heroics of Roland Muller propelled the Azkals to their first ever final with a thrilling 3-2 win over the hosts Maldives after extra time last Tuesday.

A win for the Azkals will not only clinch the coveted AFC Challenge Cup, but will also earn the final ticket to the AFC Asian Cup to be held in Australia on January 2015.

The final is the third meeting between the two Asian nations. The two sides met in 2011 during the qualifiers of the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup in Myanmar where it ended in a 0-0 stalemate.

The Middle East side has yet to concede a goal in the competition. Their opponents, Palestine, head to the final with an impressive record, winning three matches and drawing one against Maldives, a record shared with the Azkals.

The second meeting in the 2012 Challenge Cup third place match resulted in a 4-3 win for the Philippines with Younghusband scoring twice to take home the golden boot.

Stephan Schrock, who was started from the bench last Tuesday, will look to feature in the final and Patrick Reichelt, who has two goals in the tournament along with Younghusband, will want to add to their goal tally.

Coach Thomas Dooley has long admitted that his side wants to play at the next level, and will look to his squad to leave everything on the field in the final in the hopes of winning the Challenge Cup.
