Kuwait beats PH Azkals

Kuwait The Blue football team tames the Philippine Azkals in their first leg match. They showed Azkals that they can stop them in their dreams of becoming the Asia’s best.

But still the Ph Azkals team still showed a good fight amidst of being tagged as the underdog in the match last Saturday night.

The more experienced Kuwaiti football team prevailed over the Azkals in the first leg of their second round World Cup Qualifying duel at the Mohammed Al-Hammad Stadium. The match ended in 0-3 in favor for Kuwait.

The first leg game looked more like a home match for the Azkals because Filipino OFWs flocked the stadium and they outnumbered the home fans. The Azkals team was somewhat unlucky not to score twice early of the game. Then the Al-Azraq broke through Azkals defense added two more goals in the second half that they completely dominated.

“We had a great fight here in Kuwait,” Weiss said. “The first half was one of our best performances. If we scored there we never know how the match would have turned. Kuwait is a strong team and they classically played us out in the second half. I just wish we wouldn’t have conceded a third goal.”

The Azkals vs Kuwait second leg match will be at Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila. The PH Azkals need to win by four goals or more to make it the third round for the first time. If Azkals have a 3-0 win it will only send the game into extra time so they need to get at least 4 goals in the next match.

“It’s quite disappointing because i knew we could have held them a 2-0 now with a 3-0 result it has become tougher task in Manila,” said Azkals manager Dan Palami. “But knowing that we have played against a team that has just beaten Saudi Arabia and Iraq and has just been crowned gulf champion should be something to be proud of as an emerging football country.”
