Azkals vs Bangladesh Update! 1:0 At Halftime!

Ian Araneta's goal just changed everything.

The Bangladesh Bengals can no longer afford to sit back on defense. A loss to the Azkals automatically eliminates them so they have to push forward, the same way the Azkals pushed hard in the first half.

GOAL!!!! AZKALS 1, BANGALDESH 0!!!!

HOLY CRAP!!!!

Ian Araneta with the breakthrough goal!!!!

It all started with an Angel Guirado possession where he neatly maneuvered for a shot at goal. Guirado's shot was blocked but the ball bounced to Araneta who kept his composure and hit a nice shot which, despite being deflected, still went into the Bangladeshi goal.

Still the same story. Azkals are very aggressive, already logging in several dangerous crosses and around 2 or 3 decent attempts at goal. Still, the Bengals are holding.

On the other side, very few chances for Bengals to score but any time they bring the ball to Azkal territory is more time off the clock for the Azkals to attack. It's keepaway play for Bangladesh.

Araneta, Caligdong, Guirado and Lucena working hard. It's only a matter of time till we get another decent shot.

Azkals are very aggressive! Two opportunities already for them, Guirado hitting a long shot to Bengals goalie, Caligdong's dangerous cross to James Younghusband barely cleared by Bengals.

Ian Araneta, Ali Borromeo and Ray Jonsson all very aggressive too. Bangaladesh clearly on the defensive. We still need to break the ice though.
