MANILA (15 July 2013) – With a place to the SEA Games 2013 hanging in the balance, the Philippines national Under-23 team showed that they can be a force to be reckoned with when they held a United Football League (UFL) All-Stars side to a 1-1 draw at the Emperador Stadium last night.
It was the UFL All-Stars – coached by Ernie Nierras of League and Cup champion Stallion – who found the back of the net first when Izzo Elhabib scored in the 63rd minute.
But the U23 side, who had conceded a 1-0 loss to their Singapore counterparts last month, fought back with the equaliser barely two minutes later through David Fornea.
