Myanmar Routs RP XI

Game Friday (University of Makati field)
3 p.m. — Uzbekistan vs Philippines

MANILA, Philippines —The Philippine team put on a courageous fight but still suffered a stinging 1-4 defeat to the more experienced and composed Myanmar squad in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under-19 Women’s Championship Group A Qualifiers (Round 1) Wednesday at the University of Makati football field.

The Nationals yielded only one goal in the first half but the physically stronger and technically better Myanmar squad intensified its attack in the second half to score four more goals and complete its domination over the RP squad.

So tough were Myanmar players that three RP girls were carried out on stretcher due to their aggressive plays in the event organized by the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) and supported by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC).

“My players gave their best but we certainly lack match exposure and that showed,” said coach Alfredo Estacion.

With the loss, the Nationals need a huge win over the taller and heftier Uzbekistan squad in today’s 3 p.m. showdown to have a fair chance of advancing to the second round.
