PH talsik sa FIFA World Cup qualifiers

TALSIK na ang Philippine men’s football teams sa 2026 FIFA World Cup qulifiers matapos mabigo sa Vietnam 2-3, sa My Dinh National Stadium sa Hanoi Huwebes.

Napigilan ni Philippine veteran goalkeeper Neil Etheridge ang atake ni Nguyen Tuan Anh’s na ang iskor ay tabla sa 2-2, pero ang kanyang pagsisikap ay nauwi sa wala na ang kanyang deflection ay e-set up si Pham tuan Hai na nagdeliver ng clincher off rebound.

Ang last-gasp goal ang nagpabagsak sa manipis na tsansa ng Pilipinas na makatapos sa top two ng Group F na ang national football team dating tinatawag na ‘Azkals’ tinapos ang second round ng qualifiers na may isang draw at apat na talo (1 point).

Gayunpaman, ang Vietnamese ay nanateling hinahanting ang top two finish para makakuha ng slots sa third round na may 2-3 win-loss card. (6 points).

The Vietnamese, on the other hand, stayed in the hunt for that top two finish that merits a slot in the third round with their a 2-3 win-loss card (6 points).

“I think the best result for both should have been a draw. I am very disappointed in the game,” Wika ni Philippine team head coach Tom Saintfiet. “Vietnam is a good team but I am also very satisfied with the performance of my team and I think the boys deserve a draw. But Vietnam won and we have to learn from this.”
