WORld CUP QUALIFIERS: Azkals Stun Bahrain, 2-1!

Analysis: History made once again. In a match that was already historic for taking place, the Philippine Azkals made sure that they would be the talk of the football world by beating Bahrain, a team they have never beaten before, 2-1.

Until last night, the closest the Azkals came to matching their Middle Eastern opponents was about two years ago, when they held Bahrain to a scoreless draw.

In a friendly a couple of months ago, the Azkals lost 2-1 but showed remarkable improvement in their management of the midfield.

Azkals Vs Bahrain Highlights!

Great goal from Chieffy!

Azkals 1, Bahrain 2!

Not bad against an Olympic team.

The Azkals played competently against Bahrain's U-23 team, which is Bahrain's Olympic Team, yielding just two goals while scoring one of their own.
