Match preview
After a disappointing World Cup qualifying campaign, the Philippines moved on to the third round of the Asian Cup, where they were drawn into a group with the Maldives, Tajikistan, and East Timor.
Under the guidance of Albert Capellas, the squad picked up seven points in their opening three matches: first, they crushed group outsiders the Maldives 4-1, then drew with Tajikistan, and in the third round, delivered another 4-1 win—this time over East Timor.
East Timor’s start to the third round of qualifying was less impressive. They lost their opener against Tajikistan, conceding early and unable to turn the match around, which ended 1-0. That was followed by a 1-0 win over the Maldives. In the third round, they hosted the Philippines but fell 1-4, scoring their lone goal early in the second half.
Probable line-ups
Philippines: Mendoza, Baccay, Aguinaldo, Tabinas, Kempter, Reyes, Nuholm, Shneider, Lyapold, Gayoso, Cristensen
East Timor: Silva, Sarmento, da Costa, Panji, Correia, Jom, Gali, Osorio, Jose da Costa, Pedro, Mouzinho
