MATURITY paid off once again for the Little Azkals as they stamped 
another win yesterday in the two-day friendly matches between 
Korea-based players from 
Chelsea FC, 7-2, at the Bonifacio Global Field.
First game hero JB Borlongan scored two goals, while Vincent Erik
 Lovitos shared the limelight with two goals. Javier Romero-Salas, 
Ray Sancianco and Jose Anton Yared chipped in a goal each.
Head coach Oliver Colina saw the improvement of the team
 compared to itsfirst meeting as these players became 
more aggressive in a 
smaller, artificial court.
Colina said it was't hard for the boys to adjust as they already 
got used to playing in this kind of field, especially in their matches 
during 
the Italy camp and in their tournament in Japan.
Overall, more than the victory, Colina treats it as a good experience
 for the team.
"We can gauge our performance now na naka-kontra ta ug Korean
 team 
who are also known to be Asia’s strong teams," said Colina.
The Little Azkals are looking forward to the Thirsty Cup Football 
Festival 
next month, where they are currently the defending champion in the 
Under-14 division.
