Queen City United stuns Stallion, 4-1

By Edri K. Aznar

CEBU Queen City United (CQCU) toppled defending champion Stallion FC ,4-1, 
to keep the lead in Group C of the UFL Cup at the Emperador Stadium yesterday.

“Yes (it is our most impressive game). Stallion FC is the defending champion. 

We can now be called giant-killers. Hopefully we can sustain our momentum. 

We have to be consistent and we have to step up,” coach Mario Ceniza told 
Sun.Star Cebu.

CQCU beat Philippine Air Force (PAF), 3-0, and then had a subpar 2-2 draw with
 Bright Star FC.

CQCU still holds the top spot with seven points, while Stallion FC, 
the reigning UFL Cup titleholders that was hampered by personnel changes
 dropped to third place. PAF moved up to second after a 3-1 victory over 
Bright Star FC.

“We contained them. We penetrated their defense because of our midfield,”
 he said. “Right from the start we really dominated.”

Following a hotly contested first half, Ahmed Camara hit an amazing
 volley from a cross in the 50th minute to get CQCU going.

Three minutes after going into the game as a substitute, Pintho Kabulo 
made his presence felt with a goal in the 73rd for a 2-0 lead for
 the Cebuanos and Junard 
Aguilar hit the back of the net with a header in the 76th minute.

Benjamin Gordon scored for Stallion FC in the 86th minute
 from a penalty but Aguilar immediately answered with a goal 
in the next play.

AFF FUTSAL: Thais Power Past Philippines

BANGKOK (20 Oct 2013) – The question which should be answered by the end of the second match day in Group B is whether, can anyone stop hosts Thailand?
The ASEAN powerhouse, the runners-up at the last AFC Futsal Championship last year, did not even have to break much of a sweat as they sauntered past the Philippines 20-1 in their first match of the group.
“There are some players who are new and we need to break them into the squad,” said Thai coach Vic Hermans after the game. “There were some jitters today and this is obviously something that we need to work on.”
Jitters or otherwise, the Thais had classy player Suphawut Thueanklang to rely on when he opened the floodgates with the first goal of the game in the third minute off  a play back from Jirawat Sornwichian.
After that first goal, the Philippines were just there to watch how real ‘Futsal’ is being played without the use of much power but rather the reliance on sublime technique.
Supawhut went on to score five more goals (12^th, 22^nd, 25^th, 33^rd and 33^rd minute) as Kritsada Wongkaeo (5^th, 21^st, 24^th, 29^th, 30^th, 31^st and 34^th), Jirawat (4^th, 11^th, 30^th and 34^th), Kongkhla Lakka (25^th), Nawin Rattanawongswas (17^th) and Sittisak Atirat (9^th).
But the Philippines still managed to give some semblance of a fight back with their only goal of the game in the 35^th minute.
“For us, the score line was not important,” said Baltazar Avelino, the coach of the Philippines. “It was an experience for us to play against a world-class team like Thailand. What more when we get the chance to score against them. It was an honour to play this game.”

AFF FUTSAL: Philippines Grab Lead in Group B

BANGKOK (19 Oct 2013) – The Philippines took the lead in Group B when they disposed of Brunei 5-3 in the last match of the evening as Vietnam edged Malaysia 2-1 in an earlier tie of the AFF Futsal Championship 2013.

It was as pulsating a match as could be between the Philippines and Brunei with both teams eager to win the points. And while it was Brunei who pushed hard earlier on, it was the Philippines who grabbed the lead through Arnie Pasanibo in the 13^th minute.

The score at the end of the first half was 1-0 to the Philippines.

Pasilan Floriano was quick to double Philippines’s lead just a minute after the restart before Brunei got their scoring act together to score their first goal of the game in the 22^nd minute through Maziri Maidin.

Then it was three quick goals for the Philippines with Pasilan nailing a double (26^th and 36^thminute) and another from Jovanie Simpron (36^th minute.

Brunei staged a late revival through Mohamad Arif Haji Eisa in the 36^th minute as Maziri then completed a brace with a second strike two minutes later.

“We created a lot of chances but it was just too bad that we could not score,” said Brunei coach Mohd Yunos Mohd Yusof.

In the meantime, Vietnam beat Malaysia 2-1 in an earlier match in the group.

Palami wants to breach Top 100 barrier after Azkals' latest milestone

• From: Karlo Sacamos

HARDLY satisfied with the Azkals’ latest achievement, Philippine men’s football team manager Dan Palami is setting his sights on the next frontier.

After the team notched a new all-time high in Fifa ranking of 137th on Friday, the 43-year-old sports advocate and businessman who has bankrolled the Azkals since 2010, wants to breach the next barrier.

“I want to reach the top one hundred,” Palami said in a chat with scribes after trade launch ofSpin.ph Thursday night at Urbn Bar and Kitchen. “Alam mo naman ako, I want to set the bar high.”

The latest jump in ranking allowed the Azkals to overtake Thailand as the top team in Southeast Asia. The computation took into consideration the results of the last three years, but has yet to take in the results of the Philippine Peace Cup, which the Filipino booters defended.

Philippine Football Federation general secretary Ed Gastanes expressed delight about the team’s latest milestone, but rued the irony that the Azkals may be the top team in the region, and yet the Under-23 team will not participate in the upcoming Southeast Asian Games.

“It is ironic because as we have made clear several times before, seven players of the U-23 are members of the Azkals and with the addition of the budding local football stalwarts, our U-23 is a competitive team for the SEA Games,” Gastanes said in a chat with Spin.ph at the PFF office a day later.

“Unfortunately, POC (Philippine Olympic Committe) officials saw it differently,” the lawyer added.

Moving forward, Gastanes believes Palami’s new aim is achievable.

“That is always a good target,” Gastanes said. “I can go along with that target because if we continue to play and continue to win then that is not a far target.”

To achieve it, the Filipino booters not only have to keep winning, they also have to beat strong opponents.

And that’s exactly why they’ll face 71st-ranked United Arab Emirates on November 9 and fellow Middle East squad India (154th) on Nov. 15 in two Fifa international friendlies.

The PFF also wants to take advantage of the Fifa match date of Nov. 19 as they are eyeing another higher-ranked foe in New Caledonia (126th), which was one of the countries invited to participate in the Peace Cup, but declined due to conflict in schedule.

“In the next few days, we’ll try to find an opponent for the Azkals in the Philippines, but we cannot announce until it is sure,” Gastanes said.
