MANILA, Philippines - All roads lead to Jalan Besar Stadium in Singapore as the Philippine Azkals face the Singapore Lions in the second leg of the AFF Suzuki Cup semifinals, with the winner of the tie expected to face either defending champion Malaysia or 3-time champions Thailand in the finals of the competition.

If the Philippines emerges victorious, they will make history by reaching the finals for the first time ever.

This is the second time in a row that the Philippines made it to the semifinals. In 2010 however, the Philippines was eliminated by Indonesia after losing 1-0 in both legs of the semis.

The first leg, held in Rizal Memorial Football Stadium in Manila, had both sides coming close for the winner but had to settle for a scoreless draw despite a jampacked crowd in the Philippine capital.
