The Philippines opened its campaign on a positive note at the AFC Women's U16 Qualifying tournament, defeating India, 2-0 at the Luneng Football School in Weifang, China.
Tejanee Isulat got things going for the ladies with the opening goal in the 6th minute, while Andrea Tiongson contributed the insurance goal in the 75th minute to clinch the three points for the Pinays.
Coach Let Dimzon highlighted the team's aggressive game plan attack, noting that they gave their South Asian opposition fits in the attacking third. She added that they had a number of good attempts, but they also missed lots of good chances to add to that tally. Dimzon also noted that India had their own set of scoring chances, but they were unable to break through in this one.
The Philippines is expected to continue with their game plan later this afternoon, as they face the Northern Mariana Islands at 4pm. Dimzon shared that their upcoming opponents, who lost to Malaysia in the other Group B match, 2-1, are younger and less experienced that the Pinays.
Korea Republic, which had a bye on Saturday, will kick off their AFC campaign against Malaysia at 11am.
