    THE Philippine Azkals' U23 squad held reigning champion Vietnam to a scoreless draw in front of its fans in the 31st Southeast Asian Games men’s football campaign at the Viet Tri Stadium in Phu Tho, Vietnam.

    Quincy Kammeraad got a clean sheet against a home side that was coming off a 3-0 win over 2019 silver medalist Indonesia, giving the Azkals U23 a valuable point to add to its three from the 4-0 victory over Timos Leste.

    Kammeraad went down on his knees after the final whistle to celebrate the draw that felt like a victory before a capacity crowd that cheered on the host side under rainy conditions.

    "This draw is a big thing for us," said Azkals U23 coach Norman Fegidero.

    The Azkals Under-23 team remains in first place by virtue of a higher goal difference, with Vietnam in second, strengthening its bid for a medal. The top two teams in each of the two groups advance to the semifinals.
