MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Azkals blasted an all-Korean line up from the Central University of the Philippines (CPU) International School during a tune-up game at the Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City.
Football fans braved the rains on Thursday afternoon just to witness the Azkals’ 4-1 drubbing of the Korean squad.
Unlike the Azkal’s scrimmage with the Negros Occidental “Asukals” where they were held to a 4-4 draw, the Nationals dominated the Korean line-up mostly made up Korean high school students.
Although Azkals coach Hans Michael Weiss was pleased with his team’s performance, he said they still have a lot of work to do.
The Azkals have yet to compete its final line-up as some of their Filipino-foreign teammates are still due to arrive in Bacolod to join the practices.
The Philippine team is set to play against Mongolia in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Challenge Cup qualifier on February 9.
Meanwhile, fans mobbed the Azkals after Thursday’s tune-up game.
Azkals team members had trouble getting out of the stadium when throngs of fans rushed to take their pictures and autographs. – With a report from Nico Delfin, ABS-CBN Iloilo
