MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Azkals vow to do better when they face the Sri Lankan Brave Reds on Sunday in the second leg of their FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
The Nationals will capitalize on their home advantage after being held by the Sri Lankans to a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Colombo.
"I'm looking forward to the second game," said Azkals goalkeeper Neil Etheridge. "We'd like to win. It'll be great for the fans to see us win in Manila."
Azkals player James Younghusband admitted they could have pulled off a better game against the Sri Lankans last Wednesday.
He, however, assured that they will prove themselves to their Filipino fans on Sunday.
"Good thing is we got a game this Sunday to prove it in front of our home crowd. I'm looking forward to that," said Younghusband.
