Philippine Azkals Won Twice Against Germany's SC Bonner U19 in Their Test-Match Games


The Philippine Azkals grabbed a second win against Germany's SC Bonner Under-19 early Saturday morning's test match which ended 4-1 as part of their two-week training in Germany.

Scoring one goal each for the Azkals were Ian Araneta, Phil Younghusband, Chieffy Caligdong, and Stephan Shrock. "Great game today," Caligdong said in a tweet to fans.

Elated, team manager Dan Palami tweeted his appreciation to the Filipino community in Germany "for the overwhelming support shown when they came in droves to cheer for the Azkals! Salamat po!"

For their third test match, the Azkals will face Ingolstadt I, a Bundesliga 2nd division team, in Gerolfingen, Bavaria in southern Germany Monday evening (Manila time.)

The last test match before heading off to Sri Lanka will be on June 24 against 2010-11 regional champions, Darmstadt 98, a 3rd division squad at the Bollenfalltor stadium in the Hesse region’s Darmstadt City.
