The Philippine national beach soccer team fell to Iraq, 6-0, to end its campaign winless in the 2013 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Asian qualifiers Thursday at the Katara Beach in Doha, Qatar.
It was the second match the Dolphins failed to score in the tournament. They earlier succumbed to Iran 20-0, last Tuesday in a result which became the most lopsided result in Asian Beach Soccer history.
The Filipinos also dropped their match against China, 11-1, on Thursday morning with Azkals veteran Roel Gener scoring a bicycle kick goal to give the Dolphins their lone goal of the tournament.
With the result, the Dolphins failed to get past the group stages for the third straight time after early exits in 2006 and 2008.
Iran and China are battling for the top spot of the group as of press time to determine the squad that will advance to the semifinals of the tournament. The two finalists and the third-placed team in the Asian qualifiers will earn a slot in the 2013 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Tahiti in September.
