A brave Philippine side held its ground in the face of a North Korean barrage to claim a precious point after a scoreless stalemate in their World Cup Qualifying clash Thursday at Kim Jung-il Stadium. The Azkals survived wave after wave of attack from the hosts who were backed by a lively, boisterous 50,000 strong crowd. The result also boosted the Azkals haul to seven points as they responded impressively from the 1-5 beating they suffered to Uzbekistan last month. It marked the first time the North Koreans dropped points in qualifying after three straight wins including a 4-2 win over Uzbekistan here last June. sports.inquirer.net/195845/ph-azkals-hold-north-korea-to-scoreless-draw-in-wc-qualifiers

Good result for the Azkals considering this team beat Uzbekistan by two goals, and fact that the Chinese Referees allowed eight minutes of stoppage. As per the tweets, the Nokors had many chances, but just couldn't convert. It seems that they themselves were nervous about this home game of theirs ...

If Bahrain upsets Uzbekistan then our chances are pretty good.

If Bahrain will defeat Uzbekistan, they will have 6 points and will be tied at 3rd spot. And that should keep us on 2nd spot?

It sounds like the man of the match for this game is Neil Etheridge. Nice comeback for him after the debacle against Uzbekistan.
