Philippines defeated Cambodia in the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup qualification game. The Azkals won against the visiting team 8-0 at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium on Sunday, March 24, 2013.
The first three goals were scored by striker Phil Younghusband at the 25th, 31st, and 34th minute, while the fourth one was added by Javier PatiƱo, his first goal for the Philippine team.
A Filipino-Spanish recruit, PatiƱo scored at close range in the 45th minute coming from a pass from Phil.
Sunday’s game was interrupted when lights at the right side of the grandstand that were lighting the field suddenly went off. After a while game officials ruled that the match must go on despite poor lighting. It was fully restored at halftime.
At the opening of the second-half, Stephan Schrock didn’t waste time and scored at the 46th minute to continue the Azkals’ momentum.
Rains started to fall hard, adding more pressure on Cambodia as time was winding down. However, the heavy downpour didn’t stop PatiƱo from making another goal at the 57th minute. It was his second international goal.
The game was suspended for thirty minutes due to the extraordinary rain flooding the football pitch. Game officials decided to suspend the game for another 30 minutes as the downpour and flooding persist.
After more than an hour and after some floodwaters on the field have subsided, the referee made a drop-ball to restart the play.
Phil scored his fourth goal for the game at the 86th minute to equalize the output of Turkmenistan, the strongest contender in the group. A minute later, Carli de Murga scored the Azkals’ eighth goal, putting the team at the top of Group E standings.
