Kuwait Al-Azraq defeat Philippine Azkals, out of World Cup campaign

The Philippine Azkals put up a good fight against the formidable Kuwait Al-Azraq in the game held at the Rizal Memorial Stadium on Thursday night, July 28. But, in the end, the Kuwaitis beat them, 2-1 (5-1 final aggregate score). 

The Kuwaitis had enjoyed a 3-goal advantage over the Azkals from the first leg. The lone goal scored by the Azkals was courtesy of Fil-German Stephan Schrock, who, along with Azkals team captain Aly Borromeo, had missed the first leg due to a suspension.

With their loss, the Azkals are out of the running for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
