NATIONAL Under-23 team aspirant Mark Hartmann scored a hat trick to power the Azkals to a 3-1 win over Global FC in a tune-up match last Sunday at the Pana-ad Stadium in Bacolod City.
Hartmann, 19, a solidly-built 6-foot Fil-Brit midfielder, had two goals in the first half and one in the second for the nationals, who played without co-skippers Aly Borromeo and Chieffy Caligdong and the Younghusband brothers.
Ange Tressor Guiso scored Global’s lone marker from a spot kick.
Fellow national Under-23 hopefuls–defender Jerry Barbaso and goalie Paolo Pascual–played for Global, national team manager Dan Palami’s ballclub playing in the UFL.
Phil and James Younghusand, who arrived with the team last Thursday in Bacolod to prepare for its stint in the Long Teng Invitational Cup in Taiwan at the end of this month, returned to Manila last Sunday after their Filipina mom, Susan, died of a heart attack Saturday night. Her body lies in state at the Funeraria Paz in Sucat, Paranaque.
The Azkals’ next exhibition match will be today against Ceres-Bacolod, the reigning PFF-Suzuki Cup national under-23 champion.
