Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines -  Sisimulan ng Philippine Azkals ang kanilang kampanya sa AFC Asian Cup sa pagsagupa sa bisitang Nepal sa Group F ng nasabing 2019 Asian Cup Qualifiers ngayong gabi sa Rizal Memorial Stadium.

“It’s a huge tournament that we’re all excited about. We’d like to qualify for the Asian Cup for first time ever and we have a big opportunity tomorrow to take the first step,” ani Phl XI coach Thomas Dooley kahapon.

Magtatagpo ang Azkals at Nepal sa ganap na alas-8 ng gabi.

Sa third round ng qualifiers ay haharapin ng Azkals ang Nepal, Tajikistan at Yemen sa isang double round robin, home-and-away competition kung saan ang Top 2 teams ang aabante sa 2019 Asian Cup sa UAE.

Matatandaang nabigo ang mga Pinoy booters na mapagharian ang nabuwag nang AFC Challenge Cup matapos matalo sa Palestine, 0-1 noong 2014 Challenge Cup final.

Hawak ng Azkals ang three-game winning streak laban sa Nepal.

“Obviously our past results against Nepal give us confidence,” ani Phil Younghusband, sumipa ng tatlong goals sa tatlo ni­lang naipanalong friendlies kontra sa Nepal (4-0 noong 2011 at dalawang 3-0 noong 2014).

Hindi naman makaka­laro para sa Azkals ang may injury na sina key players Misagh Bahadoran at midfielder Kevin Ingreso. (OL)
