KUALA LUMPUR – The Philippine men’s and women’s teams bowed out of medal contention after absorbing crushing defeats to superior rivals late Tuesday here.
First to go down were the National Under-22 booters, who absorbed a 2-0 licking from defending champion Thailand for their third straight loss against a win in Group B at the MP Selayang Stadium.
Faring even worse were the Malditas, who got trampled by Myanmar, 0-6, late at night at the Shah Alam Stadium.
