Bjorn Martin Kristensen pulled one back for the Philippines at the 63′ mark with a stunning left-footed curler that rocketed straight into the top right corner of the goal. Since the Philippines lost to the 100th-ranked Thailand in its opening match, the former will now be relegated to the bronze medal game and compete with Tajikistan, which bowed to Syria, 1-0, earlier in the day.
The match was temporarily stopped at the 25′ mark due to heavy rain but eventually resumed after almost an hour of suspended play.
