U23 Azkals Lose TO Timor 2-1!

The Azkals' atrocious defense let them down yet again.

Timor-Leste, a team that seems to be following the Azkals module for international football success, had a relatively easy time dispatching of the Azkals in a game that solidified their darkhorse status in the SEA Games.

With several Timorese-Portuguese with experience in the Australian league in their lineup, Timor Leste found themselves unexpectedly leading Vietnam, a title favorite.

Roland Muller was the lone bright spot on defense, as the Fil-German logged several top notch saves once again. But even the uber-talented Muller can not  stop all the shots as the Azkals back four was outmaneuvered several times leading to 2 on 1 situations with Muller trying to stop 2 Timorese attackers.

If this is how the U23 Azkal play defense, then expect more heartbreaking losses in the upcoming games.
