Azkals hold off NoKor to scoreless draw

The Philippine Azkals held off North Korea to a 0-0 draw on the latter’s home turf, the Kim Il-Sung Stadium in Pyongyang, during the second round of the Asian leg of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers on Thursday.

Despite several raids led by North Korean Pak Kwang Ryong, the Azkals’ defensive trio—Amani Aguinaldo, Jerry Lucena and Luke Woodland—stood their ground with solid defense nullifying their foes’ every attempt to score a goal.
