MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Azkals failed to sustain the momentum of scoring the first goal as they yielded to a composed Kuwait squad, 1-2, to end their journey to the 2014 World Cup in tonight’s Asian qualifiers at the Rizal Memorial Football Coliseum.
Stephan Schrock hit one home near the end of the first half to spark what was supposed to be the rallying point for the Filipinos, who trail the Kuwaitis on aggregate, 0-3, entering tonight’s second round match.
As it turned out, Schrock’s goal was the lone bright moment for the Azkals, who allowed the visitors to score two goals in the second half – the second one a result of a defensive scramble.
The Filipino booters end their series with the Gulf powerhouse losing on an 1-5 aggregate score.
