Azkals reach new high of No. 124 in world rankings on strength of wins in World Cup qualifiers

By Karlo Sacamos

THE Philippine men’s football team has climbed to its best-ever world ranking thanks to an impressive performance at the start of its Fifa World Cup Qualifiers campaign last month.

The Azkals have moved 13 places up to 124th in the latest rankings of the world football body that were released on Thursday.

The rise is largely credited to their two victories in the qualifiers, a 2-1 win over higher-ranked Bahrain last June 11 at the Philippine Stadium in Bulacan, and a shutout of Yemen, 2-0, five days later in Qatar.

The Filipino booters, who eclipsed their previous best of 127th, remained the best Southeast Asian team team on paper, followed by Thailand (140th) and Vietnam (143rd).

The rejigged Azkals continue their World Cup Qualifiers stint on September 8 when they host Uzbekistan at the Philippine Stadium.

Azkals eye friendly vs Vietnamese

UNABLE to work out a deal to play against Thailand, the Philippine Azkals have turned their attention to Vietnam for a friendly match that will prepare them for the duel with Uzbekistan in World Cup Qualifying in September.

The Philippine Football Federation is arranging a friendly against the Vietnamese, the AFF Suzuki Cup semifinalist, on Sept. 3 at Philippine Sports Stadium in Bocaue, Bulacan.

The Azkals initially wanted to play against the Thais, who beat them in the Suzuki Cup semifinals last December. But Thailand is adamant in playing on home grounds in preparation for the WCQ matches.

Sharing top spot with North Korea with six points from two matches, the Azkals seek to sustain their fine form against the Uzbeks on Sept. 8.

“It’s important for us to utilize the Fifa dates for us to play friendly matches and develop cohesion in the team,” said Azkals team manager Dan Palami. Cedelf P. Tupas

Jinggoy Valmayor strikes as Pachanga Diliman holds UFL titleholder Global FC to a draw

By Karlo Sacamos

PACHANGA-DILIMAN held Global FC to a stunning 1-1 draw that kept the defending champion from closing in on pacesetting Ceres-La Salle on Monday night in the United Football League at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.

The side mostly made of former University of the Philippines standouts almost pulled off an upset as it led for most of the match after Jinggoy Valmayor struck just eight minutes into the match.

Jason de Jong salvaged the stalemate for Global with a late conversion two minutes into second-half stoppage time.

Still, Global failed to get maximum points and moved down to third spot with 23 points after 11 matches.

Pachanga, on the other hand, stayed in eighth after hiking its point total to eight points in 12 outings.

Stallion FC moved up to second on the table after a 4-0 romp over Socceroo.

Nate Alquiros fired a brace, while Balot Doctora and Jordan Mintah added a goal apiece for the Stallions, who improved to 24 points, although they’ve have played one more match than Global.

Socceroo was left stuck in ninth spot with four points.
