MANILA, Philippines — Striker Ivan Ouano saved the day as the Philippine U23 Azkals salvaged a 2-2 draw with Timor Leste in the AFF U23 Championship last Monday at the Morodok Techno Stadium in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Ouano fired a brace as he sparked the Filipinos’ rally from a one-goal deficit twice to force the stalemate and split the points for the two teams in the Group A opening match.
“We showed great character to come back both times to get the draw,” Philippine coach Stewart Hall said. “It’s a new and young squad but I’m pleased with their performance.”
The Timorese pounced on a Philippine foul inside the box in the fifth minute to take an early 1-nil cushion.
