MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Azkals lost 3-1 to the Chicago Inferno in the first of two friendly games in the United States in preparation for the ASEAN Suzuki Cup in November.
Carl Haworth netted the first for Chicago with a long range effort in the seventh minute on Saturday, August 11 (Sunday, August 12 in the Philippines), according to a report by the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Still in the first half, two goals by Drew Jesky (14th and 33rd minute) made it 3-0 for the Inferno, a new club in the US Premier Development League, second division to the MLS.
The Azkals — playing without Phil Younghusband or Aly Borromeo — were unable to convert any of their chances and had to wait until the 75th minute when UFL MVP Carli de Murga pulled one back to make the final score 3-1.
The Philippine National Team has been training in Chicago since last week and next Saturday will play the US Virgin Islands in Indianapolis.
Both games are part of a tour in preparation for the upcoming ASEAN Suzuki Cup in Malaysia and Thailand, where the Azkals hope to make it to the final for the first time ever and beat their best performance so far in 2010. – Rappler.com
